A long early Edo Katana signed, Sesshu Ju Yasunaga 摂州住康永 / Nagayuki 長幸 (very compromised). Shinogizukure, shallow sori, chu kissaki. Slightly suriage and machiokure, Hawatare: 2 shaku 5 sun 1 bu 1 rin (76.1 cm / 29.96" ). Motohaba: 2.69 cm, Sakihaba: 1.97 cm. Kasane: 7.1 mm. Hiroi choji midare with gunome mixed in, in niedeki, deep ashi iri, nado. Tight even ko-itame hada, jinie, utsuri, nado. Good polish, mounted in shirasaya with a silver foil habak. The compromised Nagayuki is a bit of a red flag.
The sugata places this sword in latter part of the 17th century, perhaps around kanbun (1661-1673).
