Q676. Omi yari, mumei.

Nagasa (blade above nakago): 14 1/2″ 36.8 cm.

Nakago nagasa: 17 1/8″ 43.4 cm.

Ovwerall in shirasaya: 41 3/4″ 106 cm.

Masame hada, of course, in fine ji-nie. The hamon is suguba that becomes shallow notare in the working end, in ko-nie. The boshi is slightly swept. There are a few minor pin pricks and a few instances of hints at coarse grain (these are very short, tight, and mentioned only because I try to tell all). The blade is in a good polish and mounted in a well made shirasaya in excellent condition. There is a lot to appreciate here. 2 pounds. $1,250.
