This is an excellent example of a Shinto Takeda wakazashi made by Teruyuki. This rather long wakazashi is made very well and is absolutely flawless. The polish is excellent and looks better in hand than in the pictures. The hamon has very pleasant hataraki in it and has a very nice uniform feel to it. The hada is a very silky ko-mokume and is tightly forged. This sword is in wonderful shape and comes in a good quality Shirasaya.
KOSHIRAI
This is the original koshirai that came with the sword. The saya has some damage but handle has been re-wrapped and is in good shape.
