This is a fully functional Gendaitō (modern Japanese sword) crafted by the skilled swordsmith Ikeda Kanetsuna, based in Seki, Gifu Prefecture, one of Japan’s most famous sword-making regions. The blade is masterfully polished and retains a razor-sharp edge, making it suitable for both test cutting (tameshigiri) and traditional martial arts like iaido and battōjutsu.
The katana exhibits a beautifully refined gunome hamon (temper line), reflecting the smith’s precise heat treatment process. The blade’s well-balanced proportions, with a moderate curvature of 1.2 cm, make it an exceptional piece both in form and function. Its steelwork features a tight and even hada, further enhancing its aesthetic appeal.
The mounting (koshirae) includes a finely crafted tsuba (sukashi tetsu tsuba), an openwork iron tsuba that adds elegance while maintaining structural integrity. The handle is wrapped in traditional materials, ensuring a firm grip suitable for real use.
