About this sword : A strong and powerful tanto by the 9th generation Owari Masatsune. He was active around Koka (1844-1848). He used "kyu-seson" in his mei which means "9th generation grandson". He was never officially granted the "Sagami no Kami" title but used it in his mei as his birth right. The blade is in good condition and has a nice old polish. There is a alot to enjoy in this work and hamon is delightfully reminiscent of old Yamato-den.
This comes with a shira-saya with inserts for the mekugiana. There is also a well-made copper habaki. The Tokubestu Hozon paper was issued in 2019. It states that this is a shin-shinto work.
A signed, ubu, Tokubetsu Hozon tanto in nice condition.
