Up for sale is a freshly Forged Moroha-Zukuri that I am selling on behalf of Mr. Harrington,

Here are the stats:
Nagasa-10.4 inches

Width at blade base- 1.15 inches
Sori-0.25 inches

The blade is 0.25 inches thick at the base of the shinogi with a steady taper towards the tip. The steel is 1075 and the blade was water quenched. Comes with Custom hand forged, work hardened brass habaki

The blade has been hand polished up to 800 grit and both edges of the blade are very sharp.

The earliest the blade can be posted will be this Tuesday.

Please note that the photos apart from the one below were taken before the mei was carved and if you have any questions please let me know.

Price is $440, which includes postage in the U.S.
