- 越前康継は、徳川将軍家及び越前松平家に抱えられた刀工で、通称葵下坂と呼ばれ、初二代ともに新刀最上作に列する。古上作の写しを得意とし、大名家伝来の正宗、貞宗、信国には康継の作と思われるものが多くあるという。初代康継は、近江国坂田郡下坂郷の出身で、美濃赤坂千手院広長の子と伝え、名を下坂市左衛門と称し、文禄年間に肥後大掾を受領、慶長六年（１６０１年）に越前入りした結城秀康より四十石の扶持を受けた。初期は越前下坂と銘し、慶長十一年頃に徳川家康及び秀忠により召し出され、鍛刀した際にその技量を認められ、家康の康の一字と葵紋を切ることを許され康継と改め、将軍家御用鍛治となり五十人扶を受ける。以後二代までは、隔年江戸と越前にて打つという。江戸三代康継は、二代康継の嫡子で、名を右馬助という。彼が十七歳の時に父が没し、初代康継の三男である四郎右衛門との間に相続争いが起こったが、江戸を右馬助が、叔父四郎右衛門が越前を相続することで決着し、以後下坂家は江戸と越前に分かれて作刀している。この刀は、二尺五寸一分の長さに身幅3.3cm重量900gに迫り、反りやや浅い、寛文新刀の姿で、地沸微塵に厚くつき、地景細かくよく入り、肌立った美しい地鉄に、互の目に丁子刃交じり、足太く入り、沸深くよくつき、匂深く、匂口明るく冴え、頗る健全な最高傑作である。山口510号の毛利家伝来と思われる名品である。Yasutsugu Echizen is a swordsmith held by the Tokugawa Shogunate and the Echizen Matsudaira family.
