Shirasaya is fairly new with buffalo horn accents on both sides of the nakago-ana.
Both are custom made for this blade and fit snug together.NOTE:
Guaranteed against fatal flaws such as hagire and shinae.
Just returned to me from Bob Benson. He commented on what a nice blade it was.Just had a new final polish, and the kissaki tuned to perfection.
This is an investment grade blade, and will only go up in value.
