When I first unsheathed the sword, it seemed quenched with oil and it had some black residue from the inside of the saya. Nothing a quick wipe-down couldn’t take care of. Also, the habaki had a small scratch that I couldn’t remove. Otherwise, the sword was in good condition and not bad for the price point and the reason I wanted it for, which is for simple display.
