This beautiful ubu katana is very well made, the hamon is active and is very strong looking, It shows many hataraki throughout.  The hada is very beautifully forged and is very tight .  Good quality bizen blades show a very beautiful hada as in this sword.  The fact that it has a full long signature and has no flaws makes this a very good example of a bizen school sword.
