Wakizashi of shobu-zukuri style
Blade length cm, thickness at the base mm, width cm
This is a nice wakizashi of Shobu-zukuri style. It looks from Shin-shinto period.
Steel is fine and it has compact layer.
Hamon is made of large particles. It makes a well designed gunome pattern including kinsuji and sunagashi (sweeping patterns).

It had a fake signature of "Heki Mitsuhira". So, we crushed it to let the blade reborn as nice unsigned one.
Habaki is made of brass. It is original from the time the blade is made. It has perfect fit with the blade.
