Item Description: I am pleased to offer this original and old hand-made Japanese sword, or Nihonto , brought back from WWII. The sword is a Shinto tanto ca. 1600s and is in samurai mounts. The blade is in Good condition and the mountings are in Very Good condition. The sword features a ridgeless hira-zukuri construction. It has a blade length of 8 inches (20.5 cm). The hada is partially obscured but looks to be itame . The hamon is partially obscured but looks to be a Seki-style gunome midare that is present the length of the blade and ends in a jizo boshi. The tang is mumei, or unsigned. Based on the workmanship, the sword is likely from the Echizen Seki school working ca. 1600s from Echizen province but in the Seki style of the 1500s.

The blade comes in customized samurai tanto mountings. The tsuka is lacquered wood with a ribbed design that matches the saya. The kashira endcap is missing. The tsuba is iron with three accompanying seppa. The saya is wood that is lacquered brown with a ribbed design. It is in excellent condition, showing just some scratches and a few areas of missing finish, retaining roughly 95-97% original finish. It features an intricate sageo knot but is missing the koiguchi endcap. The blade is in Good condition. There is one very small micro nick, several small spots of rust, and some scratches along the blades length. There are no major flaws like hagire. Given the age and nice mounts, I think this sword would be a superb addition for a collector of Japanese swords or WWII militaria.
