This is an exquisite ko- wakazashi. The finer aspects of this koshirae are very unique. The tsuba/guard is made of carved horn and is in a highly polished finish. Most of the fittings are also carved in horn but are of a lighter colored horn. The saya/scabbard is the icing on the cake. The lacquer is very precious with many ornate animals and beautiful details. The overall condition is excellent, and is a splendid work of art in itself. The blade is also very well made and has no flaws or stains. It is in a fresh polish and the hada and hamon can truly be appreciated and enjoyed. The hamon is nioi based in general and has a very wavy hamon in a gunome style. It has activity/hataraki in places and is subdued in other parts. The hada is very tightly forged and is opulent in finish with ji-nie. The sword should be submitted to shinsa in the future to add to its overall value.
