SHIRASAYA
This wakizashi has a very elegant shape overall with considerable sori for the nagasa length. The chu-kissaki adds to its overall elegance. The nakago may be slightly machi-okuri as evidenced by the hamon extending beyond the ha-machi further than I would expect. Yet, the nakago retains one mekugi ana and the nakago jiri is Kiri. There are a couple of small ware which are barely noticeable. The hada is itame with masame in the shinogi-ji. The hamon is a gentle notare in nioi with lots of hataraki such as chikei, sunagashi, nie kozure, etc. There is hakikake in the boshi.
Price: $2750 plus S/H
