NBTHK TOKUBETSU HOZON-TO

Incredible 0-Katana by Shodai Echizen Shigetaka.

Shodai Shigetaka's works were rated "Chujosaku" by Fujishiro for their quality and rated "Wazamono" for their incredible sharpness according to the "Kokin Kaji Bikosen" by Yamada Asauemon Yosjichika, the famous sword tester.

This O-Katana features a nagasa of over 40", and an overall length of 51".

The hada is a beautiful ko-mokume, ko-itame mix. The hamon is a flamboyant choji midare with ashi, tobiyaki and other hatarake seen.

This sword is in excellent polish and comes in shirasaya.

Accompanied by Tokubetsu Hozon-To papers issued by the NBTHK, which both authenticate the signature and attest to the quality of the work.
