Ray Singer Posted March 20, 2020 Report Posted March 20, 2020 Nice ubu shinshinto tanto in issaku koshirae, with ensuite copper fittings. Hamon is suguha based with small activities (sunagashi and ashi). Polish is a bit hazy but the jihada appears be to ko-itame. Menuki are of shishi and well done. There is no kozuka/kogatana. Best regards, Ray PS. Dimensions coming soon. Quote

Ray Singer Posted March 21, 2020 Author Report Posted March 21, 2020 I expected that this one would quickly at the listed price, even in these strange times. I didn't do a terribly good job of showing the workmanship in the first set of photos, so here are a few additional which show the nie hataraki in this blade. Quote

Oshy Posted March 24, 2020 Report Posted March 24, 2020 Surprised this hasn't gone yet! Are dimensions still in the works? Quote
Ray Singer Posted March 25, 2020 Author Report Posted March 25, 2020 Nagasa: 31.5cm (so, a wakizashi rather than a tanto) Motohaba: 28mm Kasane: 5.5mm Quote
