The blade length from tip to tsuba is 28.5 inches (72cm), and the full length is38.5inches (97.5cm). I am now downsizing my collection due to advancing years and this sword is the second of two which I am selling. I have owned both swords for over forty years. The buyer will have to rely on their own knowledge as I have never been an expert on Japanese blades. If other pictures are required, please ask. It can be sent by Australia Post standard parcel post with tracking and insured to $100.00 with Australia Post, unless a higher amount is arranged prior to payment.
