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 the blade is not sharp. The scabbard has scratches and scuffs, and the handle shows some signs of use. There is a repaired area where the plating has peeled off near the tip of the blade, but it is not very noticeable (image 11). This is an old Mino-Saka Dotanuki, but overall, it is in good condition. There are no chips in the blade or looseness in the tsuba, and it is well-made, so it can be used without any problems for iaido practice or performances. It is also a masterpiece that will catch the eye even if displayed. * We have performed as much cleaning and maintenance as possible. The purple sageo (cord) has been replaced with a new one.
