Description:

This sword was displayed at a museum in Chiba prefecture.

The first generation of Yukiyasu 行安 was in the Late Heian Period (Around the 11th Century). This sword was made by a swordsmith took over this name in the Early Muromachi period. Rare only begins to describe this tanto. Unsheathing the saya to see his name, makes your heart skip a beat. Recommended.
