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.
The mounts are quite perfect. The blade is in full polish. The $1000 to $3000 polish (depending on which polisher one goes with) is already paid for. No pitting, no chips, no scratches, no rust.
(If paying via credit card or PayPal, 4% credit card/PP fee added to purchase price).
