Vintage Japanese Carved Ox Bone Sword Knife
This is a vintage Japanese made sword with hand-carved ox bone handle, guard, and scabbard. The carving is nicely detailed, and features men and decorative designs. There is black coloring on the figures, and red around the band at the base of the scabbard. The guard has a wood insert, and is a little loose. There is no pommel, and the handle end is hollow. The base of the sword has a brass covering. The braided tassel has beads and peacock blue threads. The blade has spotting but is free of nicks. The blade length is 10 1/4" to the hilt. The overall length in the scabbard is 16 3/4". It is in very good condition, with wear and a few cracks on the bone surface. * This is a nice sword for any collection. *
