According to the original seller, the second Echigo no Kami Kanesada was a pupil and later the adopted son of the first, worked in Ōsaka (Settsu province) in the time of Echizen no Kami Sukehiro and is ranked among the ō-wazamono for his cutting quality; around 1680 he passed the name Kanesada to his master's son and changed his signature. The blade, shinogi-zukuri with iori-mune and chū-kissaki, measures 67.6 cm in nagasa with 1.2 cm of sori. The original seller describes a ko-itame jigane with abundant ji-nie and a suguha-based hamon with gentle notare, kuichigaiba and nijūba, coarse nie in places and a bright nioiguchi, with a straight bōshi and ko-maru turn, a style he considers uncommon for this smith. The tang is shortened (suriage), with kesho-sujikai yasurime and two mekugi-ana, and retains the signature 越後守包貞 (Echigo no Kami Kanesada). It comes with a two-piece gold- and silver-foiled habaki, a shirasaya and an uchigatana koshirae with a black roiro-lacquered saya, a tsuba with dragons and a tiger in gold relief and a fuchi-kashira with shishi and flowers. It holds an NBTHK Tokubetsu Hozon Tōken paper dated December 2024 and a Hokkaidō registration card from 1951.
