This is an antique Japanese Tanto (kaiken) from the early Edo period, unsigned and in its original length. It features a smoothly forged ko-itame jigane and a bright ko-midare hamon. The tanto is housed in a stylish aikuchi mounting with a chestnut-lacquer saya, aogai-dust hilt, and matched brass fittings, reflecting the refined aesthetic of the period.
NihontoWatchmumei · Edo · nagasa 20.4cm
The Edo period (1615 to 1868)
For two and a half centuries of peace the sword was the warrior’s legal badge rather than his weapon. Each great city developed its own manner, Edo’s tested strength against Ōsaka’s polished brilliance, until demand thinned in the era’s last decades.
We could not find an authenticity certificate on the seller’s listing. Japanese swords and fittings are normally papered by the NBTHK (or the NTHK). Without one, the attribution is the seller’s own assessment and has not been independently verified — treat it with caution and ask the dealer about certification before buying.
As a general rule, returns/exchanges are not accepted on Japanese sword orders unless damaged upon delivery. Other items: returns/exchanges accepted within 7 days of delivery. Cancellation for personal reasons incurs a 30% restocking fee (70% refunded). Return shipping must be prepaid and insured by the buyer; shipping/handling fees are non-refundable.
