Only stating it is an unsigned work assigned to Naoe Shizu, a kao or signature is absent, so there is no way to know who judged the sword. Interestingly, the NBTHK does roughly agree with this unnamed sayagaki.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"en-NL\"\u003eSpecifications:\u003cbr\u003eNagasa (Cutting-edge length): \u003cb\u003e45.45cm\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSori (Curvature): 1,1cm\u003cbr\u003eMotohaba: 31mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"en-NL\"\u003eDescription:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"en-NL\"\u003eAttributed to Kanenobu of the Naoe-Shizu school. Kanenobu studied under Shizu Kaneuji and was active during the latter half of the Nanbokuchō period. Kaneuji is traditionally regarded as one of the Ten Great Disciples of Masamune. After he moved from Yamato Province to Shizu in Mino Province, his school grew and prospered. Several of his descendants and students later settled in Naoe, and these smiths became known as the Naoe-Shizu school.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"en-NL\"\u003eThis sword has a powerful Nanbokuchō sugata, with a wide mihaba, moderate sori, and a large ō-kissaki. The blade was originally made as a naginata and was later reshaped into its present form. It feels large, imposing, and full of character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"en-NL\"\u003eThe jihada is a tightly forged itame, covered in fine ji-nie showing utsuri. The hamon is based on gunome, mixed with ko-notare, chōji, and pointed togari shapes. Frequent tobiyaki appear throughout the blade, with plenty of ashi and yō. Kinsuji and sunagashi run actively through the hamon.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"en-NL\"\u003eThe bōshi is midare-komi with tobiyaki and finishes in a yakizume-like manner.
