Unsigned Shinshinto Japanese Tanto, sold

In good overall condition, an unsigned Shinshinto era Japanese Tanto in quite high polish.

Bohi blade, complete with silk bag. Excellent hamon and hada.

The 8 3/8 inch Nagasa (cutting edge section) blade is in very good condition with a pronounced hamon and fine hada. The furniture is high quality and good but the tsuba (guard) does move up and down if pushed. The saya / scabbard / sheath is damaged in several places. The silk bag is in good condition.

Lovely blade, truly, with quality furniture, albeit the saya needs attention / replacing. A great buy for just £? (too late, now sold). Please quote item reference number W96 (1225). Further / full sized pictures available upon request.
