Imposingly powerful!
This sword's sugata and sheer presence is fearsome; it’s a hefty, big sword! Its mere sight would probably cause an enemy to abandon the thought of combat! It’s like a poem for the eyes. In my opinion, the saku has captured a fleeting moment of divine inspiration and frozen it in steel. The combination of this swords jigane, hamon and overall sugata give a presence that elevates this sword far above a mere weapon and into the realm of a spiritual stronghold; I have a sense that kami dwell in this sword and I love it!
I’ve included a photo of the saku to respectfully honour his memory.
An excellent solution to the abrasiveness of regular uchiko.
The volume is about a third smaller than the usual ‘lollipop’ uchiko that is widely available, but they are beautifully presented-that’s important! The power does feel smoother between the fingertips which suggests it will be less abrasive than usual uchiko; an abrasiveness that’s always worried me when maintaining my swords. I’ve bought two of these and am very happy with my purchase.
Excellent product. The only thing I would change is to have the bag attached to a wooden rod or something similar so you could tap the bag against the sword as you move down it's length.
