Sword description:

Attributed to Takada Muneyuki, from the Takada school, founded in the late Kamakura period. This Katana has a gunome-midare hamon with stunning overall quality. The Jihada consists mostly of itame hada, which can be nicely enjoyed as seen on the images. This katana has the overall typical early Edo period shape, but with 5 mekugi-ana, which gives the sword more of a late Muromachi Taira Takada feeling. The sword is in beautiful, enjoyable condition with nearly no kitae-ware. Overall quality can be seen on the images; there is some damage to the cutting edge under the habaki, as you can see on the NBTHK Kanteisho as well. The sword comes in shirasaya, with a sword bag included. 

 

(Disclaimer: The overview image has its background removed, which can create some slight artefacting around the cutting edge. There is no alarming damage to the cutting edge or kissaki.)
