drjoe Posted July 20, 2017 Report Posted July 20, 2017 This is an unsigned (mumei) gendaito bare blade with no stamps, suggesting pre-1940's traditional manufacture. Gunto proportions with sanbonsugi hamon, ko-itame hada, and yasurimei consistent with a Seki school blade. The blade bears a strong resemblance to this one:http://yakiba.com/Kat_Yoshitomi.htm The blade was rescued from a bad buff job and was recently polished. Measurements are:Nagasa: 65.5 cmNakago: 220 mmMotohaba: 32mmSakihaba: 20 mmMotokasane: 7 mm Sakikasane: 4 mm Photos should still be viewable here: http://s119.photobucket.com/user/drjoe/library/Mumei%20Gendaito?sort=3&page=1 Or PM for additional photos. Asking price is $900 plus shipping and PayPal fees. 2 Quote
SwordGuyJoe Posted July 20, 2017 Report Posted July 20, 2017 Wow. A steal of a deal! Good luck Joe. Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted December 11, 2017 Report Posted December 11, 2017 If only this had a habaki! Great deal. Quote
TheGermanBastard Posted December 11, 2017 Report Posted December 11, 2017 I agree. Good deal considering the polish is nice. I would recommend Randy Black for getting Shorasaya anbd Habaki made so a comeple deal would be about USD 1200.00 Quote
