This is a top-of-the-line iaido sword from Nihon Antique Gallery.
Retail Price: Daisho (Katana & Wakizashi) - ¥159,000
*This listing is for the Kodachi (Wakizashi) only.

This is a rare early production run replica of the Goro Nyudo Masamune iaido sword from Nihon Antique Gallery.
The groove extending to the base of the habaki and the file-worked hamon on the blade are distinct features of this early-to-mid period model, differing significantly from later versions.

As it is crafted for iaido, it can be used without issue for iaido practice.
When swung, the groove crafted by artisans produces a crisp cutting sound through the air.
Nihon Antique Gallery iaido swords are highly regarded by dan-ranked iaido practitioners, so you can purchase with confidence.

The blade itself has almost no scratches and is in generally beautiful condition. There is no play in the habaki, tsuba, or seppa, and the koiguchi is not loose.

Please examine the photos carefully for the exterior condition and make your purchase only after you are satisfied.

Nihon Antique Gallery has ceased iaido sword production, making this a valuable piece.
Especially the early production run of the top-grade Masamune replica is a rare item that is seldom found on the market.
Please consider this opportunity.
