FS: Dated Sukesada Wakizashi (1580)

[NewB]

Hello,

 

Time to change the atmosphere and open fresh air for my new acquisitions so here it goes. It isn't papered However I guarantee Hozon as it is or your money back. I am here for the long haul so definitely not looking to pull a fast one. The blade has no loose hada, no rust and IMHO a Japanese trained togishi probably wouldn't need to go back many stones to make it pristine. I see an amazing o gunome hamon and tightly kniw hada throughout and the boshi is still well preserved. No , this is Not kazu uchi mono judging by many factors.  Also, many know that thin gasane was a trait for Sukesada at that period so as you may see not much has been 'shaved' off. I think it is a great and healthy blade that needs minimum to be pristine once again.

 

Nagasa: 18"

Motogasane: 5.1mm

Mihaba: 27 mm

Sakihaba: 22mm

 

2500 obo plus PP. Free shipping in the ConUS

 

Cheers,

I love the hamon 

This is a very typical hamon of Sukesada that has a great temper line.

A very nice piece for a new comer to the hobby or current Sukesada enthusiast.

Thanks for the share.

Wish I seen this post sooner for I would have bought it myself.

What can I say ..... I'm a sucker for a jagged choji hamon.

Cheers brothers
