Measuring 15 inches overall with a 10 inch blade, showing a very strong, very straight hamon, attractive and vivid grain, a set of asymmetrical bo-hi grooves on the sides (two narrow grooves on the left, one deep and broad groove on the right) wider and deeper on the right) and a silver finished habaki. The hilt is covered in a brown wrap with a set of gilt, leaf shaped menuki, the saya is finished in alternating bands of black and brown lacquer, and both are fitted with silver furniture bearing deeply carved wave motifs. Included in the saya is a 6 inch long kogatana knife with silver finished dragon-themed handle, as well as a 5 3/8" long two-piece kogai spike with matching decoration. The tsuba bears two mekugi-ana, with a 7-figure signature on the left side. Includes a cloth case.

Excellent. The blade is bright with fine detail and a few small openings in the grain, and the furniture shows minor handling marks, with a mixed patina on the silver components.
