Other Info and Full Description : 

 

Here is a very nice balanced sword from the renowned smith KANETERU (兼照), Heisei (平成, 1989- ), he is part of the Akamatsu Taro group and they make their own iron (Tamahagane) for a unique style of newly forged Japanese swords.

 

This is owned by a high ranking Iaido Sensei in Sweden and he is willing to sell it at the price he paid in Japan years ago.

 

Koshirae is really nice made and Tsuka holds a firm grip around the Nakago, a pleasure to use for Iai and / or to add to your collection of Japanese swords.

 

I think the swords made by the Akamatsu taro guild will be more expensive in the future.

 

I can personally deliver it within Sweden and by EMS International Express internationally.

Ah, very tempting. You mentioned it being owned by a top Iaido Sensei. Do you know if it was used for tameshigiri in the past?
