This is a very nice sword in that its quality is good and it has no flaws for such a long sword. The hada is a mokume that is very clear and not course at all. The picture makes it look course but it is not. It is very tightly forged and looks more silky in hand. The hamon has many hataraki and is very active. The curvature of this swords is strong and elegant. It comes with original koshirai and NTHK papers that attest its quality.
