SOLD Xerxes Wrought Kiridashi

[enrico]

Bought this mid/late last year with hopes to get into polishing. Haven’t used it at all, some surface scratches there from storage though.

60mm cutting edge
230mm overall
76g

Jannis said this was some historic bloom steel from the 1500’s. Truly a lovely and unique piece. I don’t mind holding onto it but would like to offer it up if it tickles someone’s fancy.

I paid $250. Selling for $210 shipped.

Thanks!
