Shinto Katana
Echizen Kuni Ju KaneNori
This sword is for the collector who has been looking for that fine antique blade mounted in a minty condition Shingunto Koshirae. Ubu Shinto - Echizen Kuni Ju KaneNori with a 68.5 cm or 27 inch Nagasa. The sugata has a Bold and Powerful appearance with its wide body and O Kissaki. The JiHada is beautiful well packed Itame and Masama can be seen in the shinogi. The Hamon is crisp Suguha. The blade is in good original polish however it does unfortunately have some surface pitting from dry storage over the years. I suppose the upside is, that the sword probably would not have been found in such Minty condition if it had not been put away and forgot about for so many years.
The very high quality Shingunto Koshirae has obviously been a special order by the former owner. The saya is the rarer lacquer over wood type, the tsuba is pierced with eight seppa, and the tsuka has good quality same and a clasp hands sarute. The whole koshirae remains in minty condition.
