This sword is a masterly replica of a sword by Awataguchi Kuniyoshi from the Kamakura period. The elegant shape shows the typical silhouette of Awataguchi, with a clear difference between the width at the base and at the tip of the blade. The steel structure (Jigane) is made of finely patterned Ko-itame-Hada, carefully forged, which authentically reflects the high quality of Awataguchi steel.
\nThe hamon (hardening line) shows a straight pattern with nioi (fine hardening line) and nie (crystalline inclusions), in the style of Awataguchi Kuniyoshi. It is deeply burnt and shows active elements within the hardening line (hataraki), including ashi (harder areas that protrude into the soft zone).
\nThe flavour is excellent.<\/p>\n
This sword is currently still in Japan. We take over the complete handling (all associated costs are already included in the offered price).<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
