    Authentic
     The yoroi doshi, an armour piercing style of tanto, first appeared in the late muromachi period (Sengoku jidai) in response for the need for a good weapon to use while grappling with armored opponents.  It had a very thick kasane at the bottom, tapering towards the top (kind of like a spike), a tapering mihaba, iorimune, a mune gently sloping towards the tip (uchi zori). starting about 3/4 of the way up the blade, and hirazukuri  This particular yoroidoshi is a 100% guaranteed authentic koto piece in very good polish, just a few tiny mune ware that would easily polish out. Nothing deep at all, or even noticeable unless closely inspected.  Nagasa: 8"   Motohaba: 15/16"  Motogasane: 5/16". I haven't figured out the school yet, but I'm working on it. Hada is either ayasuji or very wavy masame. (Naminohira?). Hamon is narrow suguha, maybe mild notare.  The aiguchi style koshirae is quite old, yet in spectacular condition, and of excellent quality, quite possibly original to the blade. Beautiful depth and texture to the lacquered saya. Full samegawa, iron fittings gilded with gold. Wooden tsunagi included. Really exceptional koshirae. The shirasaya seems newer, and it is also in excellent condition. $25 shipping to anywhere in the continental U.S., fully insured, and very securely packaged  All others please inquire. As always, any other questions or concerns, please feel free to ask. sales at swordsmanandarcher . or takayamablack at gmail. Thank you.
