Ko Wakizashi Opinions


East London 1+

Recommended Posts

Hi All

 

i would like some valued opinions on a wakizashi i acquired recently.

The blade width seems very narrow almost like it was made for a child.

Is the blade late Edo?

Any opinions would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance

John C

Many thanks Luis and John, for your comments and for taking the time out to give them.

Us newbies are lucky to have the vast knowledge available from this great forum.

 

I did not pay too much for the Wakizashi John,just liked the Koshirae and thought it was a nice package to display in my Japanese room at home.

 

Thanks again

 

John C.
