Special feature:Sadanori was a student of the master of Takahashi
Sadatsugu, and soon after the end of the war, there was no sword
production, and it is probable that the sword production of his
master Sadatsugu was the same.

From Aoi Art: Takahashi Sadatsugu produced many works during
the war and made Tanto d for the first time from Japanese
government after the war, and the blade was carved plums and
dragons through Dr. Junji Honma on the Walker lieutenant general of
the expeditionary force at that time.
The Tanto which is said to have been presented, was an item I once
purchased from the United States, and the name of Vice Admiral
Walker was engraved on the stem in English. Aside from that, the
result of this Tanto can be said to be a masterpiece of Takahashi
Sadatsugu.
Sadanori’s masterpiece is a good work, but I think that the war ended
soon and the number of productions was extremely small.
This sword is a wonderful work that is not inferior to the famous
Gassan Sadak at that time.
