At the age of 18, he became an apprentice to the third-generation Naohiro and trained under him for seven years before becoming an independent swordsmith. He initially signed his swords “Hiroshi,” using his given name, but later succeeded to the name of the fifth-generation Naohiro. He continued forging swords in Honjo City, Saitama Prefecture, and currently works under the name Keiun Naohiro.

This is an impressive and attractive tanto that fully demonstrates the exceptional skill of Hiroshi (now Keiun Naohiro). 「拵 koshirae」ハバキ(habaki) :銀無垢一重の腰祐乗。鞘(saya) : 白鞘。「刀身の状態 condition of blade」研:良好です。傷: 欠点に成るような傷は有りません。
