But generally Shinto Ichimonji's Shinogi is Masame hada. So it is rather easier to distinguish whether the blade is old or not.
But sometimes On the shinoge, Bo-hi is engraved and difficult to distinguish whether the blade is old or not.
It means, these sword makers like this sword are quite nice tequnique.
