Description:

It has the 1944 Shingunto pommel. Rounded design with little ornamentation other than light pebbling. The blade has a Ikubi Tip. This is very similar to the Chu tip but it is shorter. It has been over one thousand years ago that the art of making swords appeared in Japan. The swordsmiths of the time may not have known it but they were creating a legendary sword. The Samurai sword has seen combat in many battlefields. From the early days of the Samurai warrior to the fierce battles in the South Pacific during WWII. Each hand-made Samurai sword is unique because it is forged from steel stock. A tremendous amount of work is dedicated to creating these pieces. They were an instrument of war as much as a beautiful artifact to adorn a room. The Samurai sword has grown to be one of the most highly desired military antiques.
