Not a real kenukigata blade. They have the tang section much thicker than the blade itself which is covered with a decorative metal sheathing. As a result the seppa, tsuba and habaki all have to be slid on over the blade and fixed with a rivet through the habaki. I have had the privilege of handling one and they feel very uncomfortable in the hand and would jar terribly if you hit something.
