The Ito (handle wrapping) is very tight and is original, the manuki is as well original, the Same (rayskin) is excellent. The black wooden Saya (scabbard) is 28 ¾” long, with the complete and original hanger. The leather cover is missing. The blade is Ubu (original length) with one punched hole and in good polish.
