Special feature: first generation Kawachi Kami Kunisuke However, it is said that there are many sword enthusiasts who like it. Hamon, which has a deep and bright tone, is wonderful and the production is quite good. Yamakichi is written on the tsuba. Wiping the brim with a purplish-black color is also very well made, so I highly recommend it.
