This elegant katana dates to the late Muromachi period (c. 1550–1600), a time of continual warfare when swords were forged for practical battlefield use yet still retained artistic refinement. The blade is mumei, as is typical for many Sengoku-era swords, but its form and workmanship clearly reflect high-quality regional traditions.

The sword features a graceful shinogi-zukuri shape with a gentle tori-zori curvature, offering both cutting efficiency and balanced handling. Its defining characteristic is the flowing notare-midare hamon, composed of soft, wave-like undulations and a bright, active nioi-guchi. This style is commonly associated with strong Bizen and Mino influences during the period.

The ko-itame jihada displays a tight grain that becomes visible as the light moves across the polished surface. Together with the controlled heat treatment, it reflects the skill of late-Muromachi smiths who balanced durability with aesthetic appeal.

The tang (nakago) has two mekugi-ana, suggesting the sword saw service and was remounted during its long life — a hallmark of authentic Sengoku-era blades. The chū-kissaki provides a practical, well-proportioned tip suited for both cutting and thrusting.

The accompanying koshirae displays refined Edo-period styling. The iron tsuba pairs with gold-accented fuchi-kashira, while the dark green tsuka-ito wrapped over samegawa creates a dignified military presence. The lacquered saya completes the mount, offering a cohesive and traditional aesthetic.

As an authentic late-Muromachi katana with attractive hamon and period koshirae, this sword represents the warrior culture of Japan’s Sengoku age — functional, elegant, and historically significant.

Really nice quality filter, and a good replacement for the Fram TG11665 that's now become more expensive & harder to find. 99% efficiency @ 20 micron. Pleat spacing was smooth & even with no excess glue; made in South Korea.

Perfect fit for 2019 Jeep 3.2L engine
Size: (Pack of 1)
No way to really know how a filter is doing without a close examination AFTER it is used, but then the amount of debris trapped by a filter depends on how much debris is generated by the engine. But this filter looks to be quality constriction and is rated to 15,000 miles using synthetic oil. The brand is well known and has been in business for many decades, trusted by many.

Excellent, well built filter at a low price
Size: (Pack of 1)
An excellent build quality filter, especially for the money. Definitely top three along with Mobil-One and WIX filters. However, the regular WIX/NAPA Gold has much better filtration efficiency at smaller microns. The WiX XP has much better dirt capacity than either, but actually has lower filtration efficiency than regular WIX. Both are better in their own ways than the Purolator Boss at a few dollars more, but this is still MILES better than Fram or Bosch or STP (or god forbid, SuperTech), etc. and usually the best at a low price on Amazon. If you run long change intervals like 7,500-10,000mi, spring the couple extra dollars for the WIX XP for the dirt capacity. If you want the absolute best filtration efficiency (me) for a 3,000-5,000mi interval, get the regular WIX/NAPA Gold. I don't recommend change intervals longer than 10,000mi, though I still use Mobil One Extended (best value, 20,000mi rated) or Amsoil Signature Series (25,000mi rated but expensive) for the extra protection.
