San Francisco Token Kai acquisition - Munemichi Tanto

Had a blast at the San Francisco Sword show, didn't have a lot of spending cash this time around unfortunately but I managed to pick up this Kazusa Munemichi Tanto. This was the only sword I held that day within a price target I could afford that gave me the immediate fizz as soon as I picked it up and looked at it. Papered Tokubetsu Kicho. 

Pictures below: enjoy!

Nice looking tanto and koshirae. What matters the most is that you enjoy it and it fit your budget!

Nice complete package with good fittings and decent polish. Congrats, looks like you did well.

Thank you gentlemen, it really was a great experience being able to hold as many swords as I was that day. I'm glad I wasn't super impulsive with my spending and also didn't inherit any more potential projects (have way too many as is!).

The overall sugata of this tanto was the immediate seller to me, a really nice wide mihaba compared to much of what was available on floor that day within my pricepoint. I've been appreciating every day since.

Dear George.

 

I'd be very pleased with that.  Here's a katana for comparison, you have to scroll almost to the end. http://www.sho-shin.com/edo-echizen.html

 

Enjoy!

 

All the best.

Thank you for that, I do see some of the similarities, I may need to track down a Munemichi katana for purchase when time/funds permit, would love to have multiple examples from the same smith or line of smiths
