Short Sword description

Although unmarked, this short sword is reminiscent of the style of Nagafune Tadamitsu. The blade length is 19.4 cm and the straight shape is characteristic of aikichi (short sword without tsubasa). The sword is solidly made, with a width of 22,6 mm and a weight of 7,5 mm, so it is well balanced.

It comes with a white scabbard, suitable for preservation and appreciation. The Aikuchi has a peculiarly simple beauty and is valuable for indoor display and as a collector's item.

Recommendations.
