MANABE SUMIHIRA made this rather large Ko-Katana in HEISEIJUYONEN AKI (Fall of 2002).  The quality is very high on this blade. It should be noted that this is one of the few smiths that actually produces his own steel for making his swords.  Therefore his swords are unique from the average smith that purchases tamahgane to make there swords.  This ko-katana comes in a signed box by the smith himself.

For more information on this swordsmith just  google MANABE SUMIHIRA in English, you will get a ton of stuff on this modern sword smith.
