Features: At first glance, this blade conveys an impression of exceptional cutting ability. It displays the characteristic Keicho Shinto sugata with an elongated kissaki and excellent overall workmanship. It was authenticated by the NBTHK as an unsigned work attributed to the First Generation Echizen Yasutsugu, an attribution that is considered entirely appropriate. The blade is further distinguished by its gold-inlaid tameshimei, katakiriha construction, and elaborate horimono, making it a highly desirable example that we can confidently recommend.<\/p>\n
