Signed "Sekiju Kanekiyo" in large characters. 54cm (approximately 21 - 1/4") nagasa of classic shinogi uzukuri form. Exact features difficult to see due to start of polish, but what is visible is an active midare with plentiful active nie, including sunagashi and tobiyaki. Ubu nakago with single mekugi-ana with takanoha yasurime and kurijiri. Copper hataki with interwoven single heavy flutes and lighter multi-flutes. In a modern shirasaya of good construction. CONDITION: With surface level scratching and pinprick oxidation throughout, including what appears to be attempted sharpening throughout. Extremity of boshi chipped. Visible activity is attractive, and a toshigi should look at the blade for potential for restoration.
