Description
This is a shobu-zukuri ko-wakizashi signed "Kanetsugu" on consignment. Short, broad blade with high shinogi made in the late Muromachi Period shows a dark, reflective surface of flowing itame mixed with masame with ji-nie and some chikei and a hamon of ko-notare with gunome in loose ko-nie. Boshi is healthy w/turnback and some brushed activity. Tang is uncut with original hole clearly signed niji-mei with crossed filemarks; patina is good. This Kanetsugu worked in the early- to mid-1500's in Mino Seki and is wazamono for above average cutting ability. Blade is in newer polish, some ordinary masame grain openings, and comes in shirasaya with integral wood habaki built into the handle. If you are looking for a signed uncut Koto sword in this shape at a reasonable price, here it is...
