Description
1 antique Shimada/Soshu sue koto Japanese Samurai o-tanto sword available. This is a rare, rare hitatsura full temper sword. This rare Japanese Samurai sword would make an important addition to any collection.
As mentioned in the sub-heading, this sword is just back from being polished by Bob Benson. This will be a fun sword for a collector! There is no habaki or shirasaya. The nakago is unsigned. The buyer should bring this sword straight to the next shinsa. When I sent this sword to Bob for polish, he tried to buy it from me before polish. I took that as a good sign!
The blade measures 13 1/8″ (33.3 cm) from blade tip to notch in the blade spine. This sword’s hitatsura/full temper is so very rare. And, it’s already polished.!
CONDITION:
This Hitatsura Japanese O-Tanto sword is in full polish. This is an exceptional piece. This sword’s temper is way more dynamic than my mediocre photographic skills show.
This rare, Japanese Samurai Hitatsura O-Tanto would make an important addition to any collection.
