The quality is evident on this sword. The beautiful and elegant shape of this sword is only added to by the active hamon and the quality of the Jigane making this a fine sword. It has no flaws and comes in a fresh professional polish. The hada is a beautiful Itame mixed with masame in places. The hamon is gunome with an incredible abundance of Hataraki. It is Nioi-deki and you can find many hataraki within the hamon as well as the nioi-guchi. In hand the Hataraki can really be appreciated more than can be seen in the picture below.
