If you are interested in splitting up this set please let us know.
■Conditon:
a samurai katana sword set (probably 1045 model with cosmetically applied hamon) likely made for display purposes only, but possibly Iaito due to it's near full tang (3 quarters w/ two holes, but one peg). There are minor imperfections along the blades but they are otherwise quite clean. Blades are dulled and not sharpened, again signifying display or practice purposes. This item was produced, purchased, and shipped straight from Japan. Overall the sword is in decent condition with a well forged blade, strong handle, tight tsukaito (cords), and weighted perfectly - all verifying authenticity. Please see all pictures for full representation before purchasing.

Black, Brown, Beige, Tan, SilverSTRAIGHT FROM JAPAN - This is an authentic Japanese display sword set. We confirmed the tang is close to full and not a rat tail or half style. It's about 3 quarters full with two holes but only one peg. These pieces may be an Iaito style swords, but they were likely produced as 1045 models with cosmetically applied hamon for display purposes only, having dulled blades. If you are looking for a real Japanese sword, you've come to the right place. The sword shows a good hamon effect but is possibly cosmetic in that it shows microscopic vertical lines probably due to brushing during or after clay tempering. There are slight imperfections from display and/or use. Make sure to review all images before purchasing. Please see our other sales for hard to find and authentic vintage product.
