>>> This piece has some slight discoloration of the rayskin. Probably only noticeable due to us pointing it out. Possibly timber sap staining the skin. Near mint. 

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.
