70cm nagasa, with iori mune, shinogi zukuri form, and ha agari kurijiri nakago. Ubu, mumei, with kesho-yasuri yasurime. Fairly high shinogi line, with an extremely tight ko-itame hada. Hadori polish with thick kesho that gives the impression of notare, but yakiba is much closer to a choji interpretation, poking out a bit towards the mono-uchi. Ko-maru boshi with discoloration on right side. Hamon is loaded with ginsuji strings throughout. Silver foil catscratch habaki. In a modern shirasaya that fits well. CONDITION: Blade is is healthy with some spots of surface scratches throughout, and some very fine areas of pinprick oxidation, mostly under habaki. Extreme hamachi slightly chipped. Shirasaya is very good.
