The blade is covered with good ji-nie, and the jigane is described as healthy. The hamon is a nioi-based complex gunome-midare, incorporating small gunome, notare, and small midare, with kinsuji working through the interior of the hamon. The hataraki is stunning, as can be seen in my images. Very nice blade to study hamon activity. The nakago is ubu. Condition Some scratches on the blade overall, as can be seen in the images. Some foraging imperfections on the blade, but it does not distract from the stunning hamon.
