Mokume / itame hada, Choji midare temper

Kajiyama Yasunori

Great work by Kajiyama Yasunori one of the founding smiths of the Nihonto Tanren Kai or Yasukuni Shrine Sword Works. Blade length is 27 1/4 inches and it is in beautiful full polish. Please note the unusual polishers marks. The blade is forged in very tight mokume/itame hada with an elegant choji midare temper.

Freekin COOL!
