Up for sale is a Kanemoto blade I was going to restore but ran out of time and funds. It is in great shape. No rust no dings in the edge. Some faint scratches here and there on the blade. It has a goo polish and in the right light the hamon is beautiful. I tried to get a good picture of the hamon but I am no photographer. It is Three cedars. I took this blade to an Asian antique show and was told by several Japanese sword dealers that it appears to be a genuine Kanemoto. I was told by one that it was more than likely made in the 1800s as he had seen similar from that time period by the Kanemoto school. The blade is sharp. I fit the two seppas to the blade and the tsuba. The seppas are nickle silver and the tsuba is an edo period copper and silver. The habaki is original I had it nickle plated. I know very little about swords except that I like them. So please look at the pictures and judge for your self. $1,200.00 or best offer. Paypal only USPS shipping with insurance please pm me if you are interested.
