Full length is 39 inches
Nagasa is 27.5
This katana is signed Minamoto Masamitsu Saku from a more recent modern school.
This is a more modern made blade.
It is an amazing sword for cutting or beautiful for Iaido.
The hamon is suguha with amazing activity and the hada is very tight with a high bold temperline.
If you're looking for a traditionally made long katana for cutting mats ect. and don't want to have to pay around $2500k to $5k buying it from a store in Japan then this is the blade for you.
The menuki are giant hornets and the fuchi /kashira have dragon dogs.
The tsuba was made in a mold from what I can see and it copper underneath the black burned colour.
Please zoom into the pictures that I put quite a bit of time into so you can see just how great the activity is in this katana.
The edge is razor sharp.
The bohi is very well made making the (whoosh!!!) sound effortless.
I'm asking $550 US shipped expedited with tracking.
This is also a great katana if you want to train with the real deal and don't want to risk harming one of your historical swords in your collection.
For the craftsmanship that went into this sword as you can see in the photos the price is very fair.
I will through in the black silk sword bag as well.
If the post is still up it is still for sale.
