Salvatori Moretto Posted March 23, 2016 Report Posted March 23, 2016 Hello folks Deciding to buy a car so some recent purchases have to go before I get attached and do something silly This Wakizashi would make a very nice fixer upper and seems to have a lot of potential. There are some flaws and I tried to take as many photos of them that I could. Biggest issue that I could see is it looks like some literally sanded/ground off about a mm or so of the very end of the kissaki, good news is that there is PLENTY of boshi left to reshape it from what I can see. Blade also seems to have taken a slight bend and been repaired, but you can still see a slight wiggle while looking at it at the right angle; no wrinkles in the steel though on either side so I'm guessing it wasn't much of a bend to begin with. Blade is mumei and ubu, not really sure how old it is, feel free to let me know your best guess Hamon looks to be wavy gunome and the nagasa is about 15 1/4 inches. Tsuka would benefit from it being re wrapped obviously Tsuba is sukashi and signed though I have not had it translated. Fuchi and kashira are both Iron with soft metal inlay, Kashira looks to be birds and I can't quite tell what the fuchi is.Menuki seem to be of fruit Habaki has a very nice pattern and is in good shape, seem to be plated/gilded in gold over copper; as are the seppa.Saya is in overall decent shape, some minor dings and scuffs. It has an odd purposely flat section that I have not seen before and have no clue why it was done this way. Many more photos can be seen here: https://imageshack.com/a/ef2M/1 Asking $625 Shipped CONUS or best offer! Thanks,Sal'
