This piece is a very well-preserved and sound aikuchi koshirae tanto with very few flaws, rust, or chips.

The jitetsu is a well-packed itame hada with yubashiri. The hamon is a very elegant looking, well-filled, thin, nioi suguha. Koshirae is in the style of aikuchi, and tsuka is dashizame (bare sharkskin).

It has a very beautiful appearance with a sense of unity between the blade and the koshirae.

We have priced this tanto at a very affordable price so we not only recommend it to fans of Japanese swords, but it is also a wonderful piece to give as a gift.
