This item is a "reason for discount" product, with the inscription removed. There are no issues with the sword itself. There are uneven areas in the groove. Yasuki Hagane No. 2 steel is used, and it is all handmade. The carved areas have a luster. The appearance is significantly better than works carved with a dull sword. "Black blade" refers only to the hilt and the unpolished blade, without sharpening.
