Shinto Wak In The Uk


RobertM

Recommended Posts

Mumei Shinto Wak for sale (I would prefer to keep this in the UK) £285 inc postage and donation to the board. Previous owner describes this sword perfectly:

 

Nagasa: 17.2" (43.8cm)
Whole Length: 26.8" (68cm)
Sori: 0.4" (1.0cm)
Motohaba: approx 1.0" (2.5cm)
Sakihaba: approx 0.7" (1.9cm)
Weight 580g
 
There's some ware, a few small nicks, scuffs and scratches, and the hamon runs rather close to the edge (especially in the boshi, where it's down to a few millimeters in some points) although as far as I can tell, it stays intact all the way.
 
The polish is surprisingly good for a blade of such small significance, and there's two small kirikomi along the back of the blade suggesting it saw real use in battle at some point. The hamon has quite visible nie and there are tiny little activities here and there. Someone has taped a photocopy of the original torokusho to the saya. A nice custom silk shirasaya bag from Aoi-Art will be included.
 
thanks
