Tamahagane Shinsakuto KATANA
For sale is a mounted, very high quality tamahagane Shinsakuto. It is signed 備前国弘次作 "Bizen no kuni Hirotsugu saku".
Added a tsukamaki, full rayskin wrap, a solid silver dragon menuki set, and a different silver wave theme fuchi and kashira from Fred Lohman. 300.00 worth.
Nagasa: 76.6 cm. Sori: 3.2 cm.
Moto-haba: 3.3 cm. Saki-haba: 2.3 cm.
Moto-gasane: 0.6 cm. Saki-gasane: 0.5 cm
The edge itself is 30.15 inches long, choji hamon, and a ko kissaki.
Here is the list of customization done to it:
Brand new solid silver habaki, a very tight fit and thick walled too. New saya, black lacquer, buffalo horn, and stingray skin. The stingray is from two different species. One comes from a skate tail that has a lot of large nodes that looks like emperor nodes. There is also a brand new tsuka core, a mokko iron tsuba in water dragon theme, and a solid silver fuchi and kashira set in water dragon theme. All work done by Randy Black, a professional koshirae maker.
This Shinsakuto is in full polish, has a gorgeous choji hamon. There are no flaws except for a small area of visible grain near the mune. It's not an open weld, or "fukure", the weld is fully closed, but just more visible than the rest of the hada around it. Otherwise this katana is perfect.
Asking $1,400.00 plus shipping. CONUS Only
I will consider trades for a quality Scottish Basket Hilt sword with scabbard.
I WILL POST PICTURES TO NIGHT.....E-Mail me at.....jaywalker66@hotmail.com for questions or offers
Thanks
