The hamon is present the length of the blade through the kissaki, ending in a maru boshi. The blade is mumei, or unsigned, but given theworkmanship the sword is a gendaito thathas been traditionally forged from tamahaganeand water-tempered. The mountings are Type 98 Shin Gunto and in Excellent condition. The tsukais silk-cord wrapped with cherry blossom menuki. There is little to no fraying.The tsuba is the classic WW2 design with two accompanying metal seppa. The saya(scabbard) is wood with a rare canvas weathering cover. The canvas is suppleand well-aged.
