[ Highlight ] Kono Sadamitsu, whose real name is Kono Hiroshi, was born in 1950 in Fukuoka Prefecture. After initially learning to make swords from his father Kunimitsu, he became a student of living national treasure Gassan Sadakazu and developed his skills, inheriting the character 'Sada' in his signature. The sword is highly regarded by martial artists for its tremendous cutting ability, known as 'Ima-Toratoru'. This sword has a wide blade with a slightly thicker layer and a blade length of just over 2 shaku 4.5 cm, with an extended kissaki (cutting edge) and a powerful body structure with a good warp. The engravings on the blade and the engravings on the mouth of the blade, which are as bright as the blade, are a great attraction of the Gassan school, making this an item with many highlights to enjoy.

[ Conditions ] There is some minor rusting in places and a thin scuff mark around the mono-uchi.
