1 full polish Japanese WW2 Army Officer gendai sword–traditionally-made with Tamahagane.  

This fine gendaito was made with greater time and effort than the majority of World War 2 Japanese gendai swords.  As stated, the swordsmith made this sword using the full traditional process.  This sword was forged with tamahagane (Japanese sand steel), then water-tempered.  A beautiful complex hada is visible in the blade.  See photos for a closer look.  

This is a mumei blade.  Shinsa groups have been papering handmade gendai swords for several years now–especially swords exhibiting this level of skill.  

The blade’s nagasa is 26 9/16″.  

This sword has a Samurai family mon on the kabutogane, as well as a fine cherry blossom sarute.  

1 premium Japanese Naval Officer’s gendai kai-gunto available.  This WW2 gendaito was made by the highly ranked smith, Ikkansai Shigemasa.  Shigemasa was ranked 2 Million Yen in John Slough’s book An Oshigata Book of Modern Japanese Swordsmiths 1868-1945.  Two full pages are dedicated to Shigemasa in Slough’s book.  

This sword is water-tempered.  The hamon is choji midare.  The blade nagasa (cutting edge) measures 24 13/16″.
