Historical Significance: The late Edo period was a transformative era in the world of Japanese swordsmithing. Among the great names that emerged during this period, Ikeda Kazuhide Nyudo Ryuken holds a unique place. Born in 1773 as Ikeda Seinai and later known by his monk pseudonym Nyudo Ryuken, he was a first-generation swordsmith from the Ikeda Kazuhide lineage. Trained under the tutelage of the renowned Suishinshi Masahide, Ryuken carried forward the legacy of his master, crafting swords that embodied the pinnacle of skill and artistry. In 1805, he became an official swordsmith of the Shonai Clan. This particular blade, a treasure from 1828, serves as a testament to his unparalleled craftsmanship and the deep-rooted traditions of the Suishinshi Masahide school.

He passed away Tenpo 12, (1841), died at 69 years old.

In the vast expanse of Japanese sword history, where ancient traditions meld seamlessly with unmatched craftsmanship, Ikeda Kazuhide Nyudo Ryuken's work stands as a beacon, illuminating the profound depths of artistry and skill from the late Edo period.

Great product!
Size: 12 fl. oz. (Pack of 1)
Would recommend pouring oil into container after pouring in and shaking it up, great additive recommended by some old folks but I would have to say it’s just thick as molasses. Used in 2016 FORD F150 5.0 V8

Great assortment of clips—fits well and saves a trip to the dealer
Color: 40pcs
Picked up this 40-piece set to replace missing/broken push-type retainers on my bumper/fender liner area. The assortment is a solid value—having extras on hand is way cheaper than buying a few at a time locally. The clips I used snapped in securely and held the panel tight without rattles. Tip: match the old clip’s size before installing (hole diameter + stem length). I tested a couple first to confirm fit and then finished the job. For basic trim/under-cover repairs, this is an easy, cost-effective kit to keep in the garage.
