TheGermanBastard

Recommended Posts

This is a Mumei (I assume Shinto) periode Ken tanto that was attributed to Monju School by the NBTHK and warded Hozon Token. There were some good smithes in Monju school and it orignates from Yamato tradition.

 

The blade is in full Japanese polish, has gold washed Habaki and Japanese made Honoki Shirasaya. It has a lot of activity. There is one Ware near the tip.

 

Also it comes with  a partial Koshirae that consists of a Saya, Tsuka and Tsunag. No fittings.

 

Price is SOLD

Hello Ken, there is a folding stick in some of the images given the blades dimensions in cm .. and they are also written down in the Hozon paper. The Koshirae had gold plated modern made fittings. I did not like them and intended to get the Koshirae redone with Edio periode ones but never got around that.
