1 water-tempered Japanese WW2 gendai sword by Amahide.  This fine antique Japanese sword would make an important acquisition for any collection.    
 

This sword is signed ‘Noshu Seki ju Ichimonji Amahide kitau kore’.  This sword also has Amahide’s hot stamp (kokuin).  

This is a special sword.  Unlike roughly 95% of gendai swords, this sword was made with Tamahagane (traditional Japanese sand steel), and was made in the old ways.  Note the beautiful hada (grain).  

The blade measures 24 1/2" from blade tip to notch in the blade spine.  As mentioned, this is a traditional gendai sword--there are no arsenal or Showa stamps on the nakago.  

This sword also has a surrender tag attached to the saya  

This sword is in nearly perfect polish—no costly polish needed.  The hamon and boshi are perfectly healthy.  There are no forging flaws of any kind.  This is an exceptional sword.  Those collectors looking for a gendai sword different from the usual, this sword offers exceptionalism.
