This katana has a good signature and is not cut down.  It is over 28" long and has a very active gunome hamon.  The blade is forged well and has some O-hada in many places.  The sword is stout and healthy and comes with a restored saya/scabbard.  The fitting are very interesting in that they are all matching and made by the same person.  This was a true swordsman's blade and it is mounted in a strong subtle but yet elegant set of mounts.  This sword comes with papers and its original mounts.
