I purchased this piece new/direct from Bugei earlier this early for Iaido; not happening now due to radical shoulder injury. Nagasa is 27.5”; tsuka is 12”. Blade has been religiously powered/oiled/wiped every three (3) weeks...which is the only time the blade has seen outside of the saya. No use of any kind outside of that. This is their top of the line ASSAB K120c version; not the cheaper 5160 steel model. Koiguchi fit is PERFECT; not too tight and not loose and no saya rattle whatsoever. After having returned two (2) Peace swords that were problematic, the order manager at Bugei went through the entire shipment of new Dragonflys and hand-pulled this one for me...and the fit & finish shows that hand-selected quality. Will provide an additional details, pics or discussion as requested of course. Asking price is now $1100 ($300 plus tax below Bugei direct) & I will cover shipping. Continental U.S. sale only plz. This is my first sale ad on this forum, however can/will validate as needed (I'm a long-time guitar/amp builder/dealer here in KC with a long-term online presence). Thanks for looking; don't hesitate to contact me for further. Here's the Bugei spec link: bugei.com/collections/katana/products/dragonfly-katana

Hi there and welcome to the Listings!
Very nice sword indeed you have there. Could you tell what is the nagasa / tsuka lenght? I can not be certain from the pictures, and the Dragonfly has some options... Thanks in advance and good luck with your sale!

Thank you; I noted that in the post titling but forgot to include that in the detail(s); shall update (thank you). Nagasa is 27.5”; Tsuka is 12” with a nicely crafted & consistent wasting profile.
