Japanese SAMURAI Sword Overall Length: 96,64,39cm Blade Length: 72,43,27cm Blade Material: Japanese steel Scabbard : rosewood SAYA , without any adornment , very simple ! From looks of it , used hard and stored in the best condition over the past years ! BLADE SHINOGI-ZUKURI with a fully handmade blade to promote quickness The hada is the visible design of the grain of the sword steel . It is a result of the way the sword was folded during foring ! I am pretty much certain that this sword has a blade that was hand made many years before the war ! Please don't use anything to polish the blade and the tang , or its original value will be damaged JAPANESE SWORD CARE GUIDE Traditionally, the Japanese sword has been a most important treasure of the Japanese people. We should do what we can to preserve it in order to pay respect to our ancestors who created such a great form of art. Swords must be treated with utmost caution so as not to injure the handler. Precautions to protect them from scratches and rust are also necessary. Do not attempt to sharpen the blade. The use of sharpening stones or (heaven forbid) a grinding wheel can cause the total destruction of the sword from a collectors standpoint. It takes special training skill and tools to properly polish and sharpen the sword.
