Iai replica sword, with a groove in the blade. This is an exhibit of a replica of Seki no Magoroku Kanemoto. The hamon (blade pattern) is (Sanbonsugi Midare), a blade pattern said to have been originated by Magoroku Kanemoto. It is called (Sanbonsugi) because the pointed blades, with varying heights of the temper line, are arranged in sets of three, resembling a grove of cedar trees. In later generations, the pointed blades became larger. This work is a replica of the first generation Magoroku Kanemoto, with a refined blade pattern that suppresses the pointed blades. The tsuba (handguard) is an elegant black-ground crescent moon triple-layered openwork, creating a beautiful atmosphere. And in the hamon, although difficult to see in the image, small tate-ashi hamon (vertical foot blade pattern) can be seen within the Sanbonsugi. This is a Magoroku replica hamon with a lot to see. Take this opportunity to collect a Magoroku that is different from other replica swords.
