Ray Singer Posted February 14, 2019 Report Posted February 14, 2019 This is a really wonderful Soshu ko-wakizashi with a hitatsura hamon that is full of activity. I will say at the outset that the sword has a mei of Muramasa and a sayagaki from Sato Kanzan which supports that mei, however I am doubtful. Looking at just the blade itself, I believe it to be Muromachi Soshu, such as Hiromasa. The hamon is full of bright, uniform ko-nie with profuse hataraki. The jihada is a large patterned itame. This is a wide and healthy hirazukuri wakizashi. Please see below for dimensions: Nagasa: 34.7cm Moto-haba: 30mm Kasane: 5.8mm This blade is in shirasaya with a very well made gold foil habaki with a solid silver base. Best regards, Ray 11 Quote

Ray Singer Posted February 16, 2019 Author Report Posted February 16, 2019 I have agreed to extend the hold on this sword for another three days. As the interested buyer had also requested additional photos of the ji, I am attaching those here. Best regards, Ray 2 Quote
