From Aoi Art: Many of the first generation Tanto were small in size. Some of the works are reminiscent of the Shintogo. Many of the 2nd generation swords are quite broad and reminiscent of the Nanbokucho period. The blade has one Mekugi hole and great carvings. In the Gunome Midare Hamon, there are Sunagashi and Kinsuji. This Jigane is similar to Muramasa and may have been made from Suruga iron. The dragon carving and gorgeous Hamon that can be expected to increase in value in the future. We highly recommend this Tanto.
