This is a very well made sword by Kunitsuna. The hamon is an elegant suguba with hataraki in it and the hada is milky looking and itame. The style of this sword is from the Kanbun era as straighter swords were very popular at the time. Over all this is a god sword with a good signature that should be papered some day. The sword should be placed in shirasaya some day to protect the good condition of the polish.
