Nagasa: 71 cm Sori: 1.8 cm Hamon: Suguha Nie deki in the hamachi turning into a very wide and large Gunome Midare in the rest. Lots of Kinsuji and Sunagashi. Mune: Iorimune Description: Kinmichi sandai is the third generation of the exceptional lineage of Iga No Kammi, which traces its origin to Yamashiro in 1680. He is a master who is referenced in the wazamono lists, that is, the historical record that includes the masters who stand out for their skill in forging blades with special and outstanding cutting abilities. Its leaves are signed with the engraving characteristics of the Kiku mon, imperial chrysanthemum, followed by the signature Iga no Kami Fujiwara Kinmichi (菊紋) 伊賀守藤原金道. Mishina Kambei received the title Iga no Kami at the age of 30, in 1684. In addition, his signature mei included the engraving on the reverse of the tang of the Nihon Kaji Sosho as an exceptional recognition established by the imperial house and literally meaning "Master among the forgers of Japan", which is very significant of the importance of his work. Its state of conservation is masterful, a blade of great robustness and very "powerful" 8000 Euro Plus Shipping Quote
