US Size:

Iai-giri sword: Replica of Izumi-no-kami Kanesada

Izumi-no-kami Kanesada also forged straight temper lines, choji, and choji yahalare. Kanesada was unusual among ancient swordsmiths in that he received an official title (Izumi-no-kami) and inscribed (Izumi-no-kami Kanesada) on the tang of his swords. He was the most skilled of the Seki swordsmiths, with a style similar to Naoe Shizu and Soshu swords.
He was even more outstanding than the famous Seki no Magoroku (Kanemoto) and was in no way inferior. Izumi-no-kami Kanesada was a renowned swordsmith also known as a master craftsman of great sharpness.
This particular sword, unusually for an iai-giri practice sword, features a yahalare temper line.
The name comes from the nock of an arrow. If you look closely at this sword,
you can see small, vertical thread-like patterns appearing and disappearing within the yahalare.
The fittings are unified in black throughout,
creating a powerful and imposing atmosphere.
The koiguchi (mouth of the scabbard) also has reinforcing metal fittings.
This sword is recommended for experienced iai practitioners or collectors.
Please take this opportunity to add it to your collection.
