I got emotional seeing a really beautiful sword. Chat, am I cooked? To be fair, it's an 800 years old Kanehira Odachi valued at 1.5 Million USD being shown off by the current Masamune, and that's hella epic.... like..... oh. It's 100% tamahagane and done entirely by hand. So, that perfect curvature and detailed workmanship in something that old is just incredible. The hamon has little swirls in it. So, it's the actual wave pattern, not the fake one. So what I mean, is it's the breaking waves, and not simply a wobble. Also, the edge can mark glass. So.... Probably 63-68 Rockwell. Which is the equivalent of modern High-end edge hardness. https://youtu.be/Qa8_35X526M?si=ys_sa7OjguHVu6p6
