Thank you very much for viewing. The sword stand is for photography purposes and is not included. This is a simulated sword for iaido practice, so it does not have a blade. There is a small plating lift on the blade and minor scratches on the scabbard that are difficult to see. I don't think either is noticeable. The tsuba is not loose and the construction is solid, so it can be used without problems for iaido practice and performances. It is lightweight and easy to swing with good balance, so it is recommended for beginners to intermediate users. Blade: Sand cast lightweight hard blade for iaido, with a groove, and a midare-ba hamon (wavy pattern) Hilt: Wooden, genuine ray skin, pure cotton black tsuka-ito (hilt wrapping) Menuki: Dragon, fittings: kashira (pommel), fuchi (collar) with dragon design Tsuba: Round ten-point openwork iron tsuba Saya: Black Ishime-nuri (stone-like finish) lacquer, pure cotton black sageo (cord) Total length: 101cm, Blade length: 71cm (excluding habaki) Hilt length: 24.5cm, Weight when drawn: 780g, Sori (curvature): 1.8cm Accessories: High-quality sword bag (new and unused) ⚠️ Please consider this item with the understanding that it is a used item and may have some scratches and stains. ⭐️ I have various other items for sale.
