Katana with fake signature "Dotanuki Munehiro"
Blade length 72.9cm, thickness at the base 9mm, width 3.4cm, weight of naked blade 1080g
This is a heavy and robust blade with signature "Dotanuki Munehiro". But we believe the signature is fake. The age is 19th century.
Steel has a wood grain layer pattern.
Hamon is made of large particles (nie). Its pattern is gunome.
Polishing is the modern style (hadori style). But, the work is not very good. Anyway, the blade itself is not a masterpiece. It is just a heavy and robust blade.

The previous owner loved this blade as "Dotanuki". The name is famous among sword fans as super tough blade. It is true, but the reputation is more influenced by anime and movies.
We can crush the signature to recall the blade as a simple heavy katana.
