Description |
| Ubu, 27 1/2" very
nice Shinto katana by Teruyuki. He was one of the better makers from
this school, and is rated 40 points in Hawley’s. Nice suguha hamon
reminds us that the Shinto Takada group learned their sword making
from Matsuba Motoyuki. Motoyuki learned under the first Hizen Tadayoshi,
therefore the similarity of the shape, as well as the hamon. This
sword has a very nice original shape, as it has never been shortened.
Textbook in appearance, this is a very nice Shinto sword. There are
no flaws and the hamon and boshi are very healthy. Suguha with nice
activity done in nie-deki with a fine itame-masame hada. Tang is ubu
1 hole in very good condition. In WW2 Gunto mounts, this is a “fresh”
sword in old polish. It could use a professional polish one day, but
all the characteristics are clear. An original nice gold foiled habaki
also accompanies this sword. |
