fine ko-nie etc

27", Nakago: 7 3/8"1 3/16", Mihaba: 1
3/16", Sakihaba: 13/16",
Kasane: 7/32", Sori: 1/2"
Mountings: There are no mountings
for this blade other than the habaki.
Overall Condition: At some
point someone tried polishing this blade with something. You can see
the difference between the shinogi-ji/bo hi area where they didn't try to polish
it and the hada. This makes it very difficult to get good pictures of
the hada and the hamon. The blade is actually in good condition except
for a few rust spots that were cleaned out. They can be seen in the fifth
picture. These spots should largely disappear with a good polish and
the hamon will be very attractive. |
