This is a large, powerful Shinto wakizashi with a nakago which is textbook for  the Settsu group (for example, smiths such as Kawachi Kunisuke). The blade has an suguha hamon with an extremely bright nioiguchi. Small ashi. Ko-maru boshi. Jihada is a fine ko-itame. One kitae-ware is shown in these photos. Blade measured 56cm, with 32mm moto-haba, 24mm saki-haba and 7.5mm kasane. Large kissaki with no damage. Overall very good polish with a few small rust spots. Ubu nakago with 1 mekugi-ana. Copper habaki and shirasaya with horn hato-mei.

SOLD

 

Best regards,

Ray

The wakizashi arrived today and I am more than happy. It is really an impressive blade with a lot of activities to enjoy. I also want to say thank you to Ray Singer for his excellent service. Everything went smoothly, from the packaging and shipping and all the communication with Ray was extraordinary. I will definitely do business with him again as I felt always well informed and everything was presented correctly and honestly.

 

Thank you Ray.
