The Quintessential Shinto era Japanese Samurai sword, this blade though slightly suriage still maintains the original signature and attributes. The blade comes mounts with original mounts from when it was shortened. The blade itself is an exciting blend of Notare and Gunome with a beautiful thick frosting nie and nioi. The itame hada is tightly forged and very well made. This blade is a beauty to behold. It is documented as Nambamtetsu or foreign steel making this sword even more interesting.
