Gendai-to By Noshu Ju Kanenobu

This sword was made by the 2 million Yen sword smith Noshu Ju Kanenobu.  This swords cutting edge is just over 26 1/4" long.  The hamon is a very active nei based gunome choji.  This sword is very worthy of polish and I have priced it so that it is practical to have it polished.  It is mounted in gunto mounts and the handle is being re-wrapped with the appropriate golden silk ito.  Kane nobu was bourn in April of 1903 and started making swords at a young age.  During WWII he was Rikugun Jumei Tosho.  In 1973 he was given the title Mukei Bunazai (intangible cultural Asset), a title only a handful of smiths have achieved.   Kanenobu is listed in many reference books, Nihonto Meikan, Gendai To Meikan, Toko Taikan and Howley's Japanese Swordsmiths.  Dont miss out this will sell fast!

SOLD!
