Description

Please Note: This is a seconds grade item. Refer to supplementary photos marked with a "checked circle" for the actual item for sale. Studio photos and original description are for reference only. The bold description indicates the actual unit available for purchase.

>>> The point at which the habaki (brass collar) and blade spine meet is not completely flush. Sword still has a good solid fit. 

Feel free to ask any questions. Contact us for more details.

----------

A slightly shorter Katana compared to our standard sized katana. The "Ko" in "Ko-katana" means short. Still a normal sized sword, just not as long as some of the larger sizes.
