Last Legend Yashima 4000 Katana

Описание: This is a look at a Last Legend katana from the early 00’s. Crazy to think it has been a few decades since then. Last Legend is not around but they still come up from time to time on the second hand market. This video might give you some idea of what to expect from their higher end pieces.

Info from the way back machine-
The Yashima family of blades are well-balanced and quick in the hand. They are Keicho Shinto style blades with some koshizori (curve of blade more toward habaki), with masame hada (wave gain pattern) in the folded blades, full niku (convex shape on sides of blade), a significant taper from machi (blade at habaki) to yokote (tip line), and a longer chu kissaki (slightly longer tip). In the hand the Yashima feels like a Kamakura era fighting blade that has been reduced in length for the Shinto fighting styles.
