The hamon is sanbonsucci--"three cedars". The blade measures a large 35mm in width. The Edo period mounts/koshirae are Satsuma. The menuki are large moons. The tsuba is signed 'Norisuke'. Norisuke worked from 1833-1848 A.D. The seppa are covered in gold foil. Condition:The blade is in original Japanese polish. The blade has minor staining. There are no nicks in the cutting edge.
