The engraving at the bottom is the Sanskrit seed syllable represent the deity, Fudō Myōō. Two beautifully cut fullers (bohi).

As you can probably work out, it has a triangular section making it very strong. You can see the straight (suguha ) hamon and ‘itame’ steel grain (jihada).

I have to say, this thing is lethal! I can see why the samurai preferred them to the sword (which was a tertiary side arm on the battlefield). Depending upon the length of the shaft (this short one is just for holding on a display rack only), they’d be so quick, have a safer range of deployment and require far less training to be effective than the sword. I love this thing and will be known as ‘Mr Stabby McStab Face’
