Trystan posted this on the "Arsenal Stamps" thread because of the hotstamp on the nakago. Anyone recognize it, or have an idea of it's meaning?

 

The dirk itself seems to have been shortened from the tip. Ohmura-san's example is quite a bit longer, and from this picture, you cans see the blade is much shorter than the saya.

A quite nostalgic fashion which is still used today just for the sake of sales ( https://www.boker.de/leopard-damast-i-110084dam?c=5323;  https://www.boker.de/tirpitz-damast-110190dam?c=5326). The special steel for guns has only low carbon content and has to be combined with other carbon-loaded steel for blade-making.
