Big Jimp Posted April 17 Report Posted April 17 (edited) Type : Katana (Showato) Ubu, Suriage or O-Suriage : Ubu Mei : Mumei Papered or not and by whom? : Not papered Era/Age : Showa Shirasaya, Koshirae or Bare Blade? : shirasaya Nagasa/Blade Length : 64.4cm Sori : ~1.7cm Hamon Type : Gunome Midare Jihada : Not visible; showato Other Hataraki Visible : Many ashi Flaws : N/A Sword Location : Florida, USA Will ship to : USA, other nations if legal/possible Payment Methods Accepted : Zelle, Paypal, Venmo Price and Currency : 1200USD Other Info and Full Description : I posted this sword a few years ago and it was well received but the sale I’d lined up was unsuccessful, so here I am once more. For sale is my somewhat curious Showato in shirasaya with a plain copper habaki. It is remarkably well polished, with a deep sori and pleasing geometry; I find it to be well balanced. Though it’s sized appropriately to have been a shin guntō, the nakago is completely bare (no Mei, arsenal marks or other markings). I have kept it in the same condition I received it in years ago, and as I said in my previous posting, though this is not a traditionally made Japanese sword, it is a Japanese sword, and would make a fine piece for affordable entry to the hobby, display, or for those interested in the war/related militaria. The sword will ship with an “Aoi Art Estimation” sheet and a full oshigata. I will upload images below. Cheers. Edited April 17 by Big Jimp Quote
Big Jimp Posted April 17 Author Report Posted April 17 Please note, these two photos are old, I am only re-using them due to the superior lighting in my former home. The blade and polish are in the same quality now as then; it is the brightness of my home that has worsened. Quote
