I came across this shobu zukuri sword blade recently, and upon reading the mei, found out that it was a stainless steel blade like you would find in many kai guntos.

 

What's more surprising, this blade was made in Showa 4th Year(1929), and had some horimono on it too.

 

Here are a few pics.

 

Enjoy.
