Description:

Measuring 37 inches overall, with a 25 3/4 inch blade showing a wavy temper line fitted into a brass habaki, a four-lobed brass tsuba with heart-shaped cutouts and copper accent panels, and an engraved kashira. The saya is fitted with a leather cover. A pair of mekugi-ana are present on the shortened, two hole tang, with no signature, and the geometry and mekugi-ana positioning suggest a cut-down tachi-length blade.

Rating Definition:

Very good. The blade shows some light spotting, with a strong hamon and fine grain. The tsuba is a bit loose, with some wear and scuffs on the grip. The saya is fair.
