Why not make a radiograph from the blade to see if it is fatal? For me it looks not more like a begining chip.
-
One question. Anybody knows why the hagiri is shinning white on the photo.
-
John, than it looks not fatal for me. It is a nice sword. If the price fits i would take it :-) collecting worth or not. For me the time decide what is collectible or not. Look at the prices for worthless NCO swords. A lot of people pay a lot of money for it.

The complete tanto,
-
One question from a rookie. I thought hagire must run out of the hamon to be a lost sword. I cover and run...
-
Ah yes. I found it. Thanks.
-
I see in the pictures no hagire. Must be happened later.
-
Hello, the tanto arrived today. It looks loveley. Nagasa is 29,5 cm I made some pictures maybe it help to identify. Light condition is bad to take pictures.
-
Hope to recieve it coming week. You all help me this way for buying it. Thank you very much. I'm happy to be part of this community.
-
Is that a lock?
-
You are right Jean. They look a little similar. But there is no beauty in that pieces from solingen.
-
Malcom is it right that this mon is not the mon of the samurai clan tachibana. It is the mon of the kuge tachibana clan. One of the imperial houses of Japan. I found that information on wikipedia.
-
Thank you Jean. I realise this now. I was on the wrong way. Its a "normal" unokubi zukuri tanto. I found one in my books. Thank you Malcom very nice find. I hope i can make better pictures when it is here.
-
Thank you all. So i will put it as shinshinto unokubi zukuri tanto in my collection when my friend want to give it to me. It's the first tanto that i'm willing to buy.
-
Hmm what is it? Found that picture here in the board. For me it looks like a shortend version from the third from above. But i have zero experience with it.
-
Wonderfull Tsuba. I like it very much. So beautifull!
-
Thank you very much. I was asking for another blade pictures and got this. There is a phase in the blade, what i see. Maybe kikuchi?
-
Hi, a friend offered me this tanto. Mumei blade, in old polish. I didn't know what age (maybe shinto?) Could it be a Yari Tanto? Koshirae is Edo maybe, but the condition is not perfect. The Tsuka is covered by a white material, could it be wax? I'm not sure to buy it. What you think.
-
Thank you Jamie. I didn't know this.
-
Just for interest. Why is it only polished on that short part and no full polished. Thanks Chris
-
What is low end and what is high end? Who makes the price? The buyer makes the price. If i want a price no one is willing to pay i can built some aircastles but i never sold anything. It's like which god is better?
-
Maybe i'm not correct but i feel always all the blades from showa22 looks like have the same hamon. This one is nice. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-17th-century-Japanese-Sword-Samurai-Wakizashi-Katana-in-Edo-Koshirae-/322319246865?hash=item4b0bb96611:g:FdIAAOSwHMJYH0p0 It has also a nice theme. -
I would follow Dave. Looks like a old blade to fit in a Kyu-Gunto Koshirae
-
A fine piece of art.
-
Lol. I saw an ape not a toad.
