Spectacular sword katana shobu zukuri rare shape signed “Tokukatsu” full of personality from the muromachi period with a beautiful very long O`kissaki. This type of swords are rare and highly sought after as they are preferred by most collectors for their graceful and elegant style. The sword is in excellent condition, both blade and koshirae.

Great sword with a fantastic Japanese polishing on a high quality koshirae with elements in shakudo, one of the most expensive materials for this type of pieces, which is an alloy of gold and copper. Magnific tsuba with hannya motives, very rare and nice queality. White or very light-colored swords were often reserved for daimyos and high-ranking samurai who rarely had to fight on the front lines of the battlefield, as white signifies purity and was intended for great lords who did not need to get their hands dirty. The large kissaki is exceptional and gives a unique style to this sword, except for two small rust spots cleaned, the rest of the polish is in a spectacular condition. A wonderful sword that I highly recommend.

A very healthy blade with a superb polish on the blade, with only a few small details and superficial scratches that do not affect the quality and strength of the sword. You can clearly see the quality of the sword and the beautiful jihada and hamon produced by the tamahagane steel forging process that used different densities and folds to make Japanese swords, the best swords ever created.

The blade is in old japanese polish remaining in good condition, the jihada of the steel is detailed and full of details to appreciate. A masterpiece Worthly a museum and a great addition to any private collection.

Blade is in very good condition due to aging. Not hagire and not fatal damage, of course. This is a japanese weapon so have a real historical value. This is a weapon not machine crafted so can be minor movements of saya, tsuka, tsuba, etc. Because of dilatation, humidity, etc. and little damages propers of his age like small rust, scratches, etc. Sold as is.

An Authentic nihonto japanese sword, difficult to find in Europe, without the consequent costs of importing from Japan or from Japanese sellers, which can increase the price of the sword by up to 30% and a months waiting for shipment and custom paperwork. A truly real nihonto to delight both new and experienced collectors.
