Japanese WWII Army Sword -WW2 Samurai/Gendai/AMAHIDE -Tamahagane -HOT STAMP -th
$0
1 water-tempered Japanese WW2 gendai sword by Amahide with special Silver-plated custom fittings. These special Silver-plated fittings are only seen once in a great while. This fine antique Japanese sword would make an important acquisition for any collection.
This sword is signed ‘Noshu Seki ju Ichimonji Amahide kitau kore’. This sword also has Amahide’s hot stamp (kokuin).
This is a special sword. Unlike roughly 95% of gendai swords, this sword was made with Tamahagane (traditional Japanese sand steel), and was made in the old ways. Note the beautiful hada (grain) visible in the close-up photos (especially in the last two photos above).
The blade measures 24 11/16″ from blade tip to notch in the blade spine. As mentioned, this is a traditionally-made gendai sword–there are no arsenal or Showa stamps on the nakago.
This sword also has its original blue/brown Company grade Officer’s tassel. The saya, as part of the special custom koshirae/mounts, is made of special textured lacquer over wood.
