1 traditionally-made, water-tempered Japanese WW2 gendai sword available.  This fine antique Japanese sword would make an important acquisition for any collection.    
 

The blade measures 25 3/8" (64.5cm) from blade tip to notch in the blade spine.  The nakago is signed.  This sword was made by Mori Kunitoshi.  This is a traditional gendai sword--there are no arsenal or Showa stamps on the nakago.  Kunitoshi was a RikugenJumei Tosho during World War 2.  

The hamon is very complex—this is a exceptional sword.  

This sword is in excellent condition.  The blade has occasional minor scratches and an occasional spot of micro-pitting.  The hamon and boshi are perfectly healthy.
