That's too bad, though I had a suspicion when I couldn't make sense of the writing on the tang. Oh well, at least I don't have to baby it. Thanks to all again for the help.

Thank you all for the help so far. I bought this off eBay in about 2000 and forgot about it until recently. I believe it was about $200. The seller was located in Ohio. What would be the point of faking something like this? I have kitchen knives with less forging (see attached image) that cost more. Is there any hope that it's a genuine antique? What would my next step be to find out? Best, Jason R.

Interesting. I don't know any Japanese but I am semi-fluent in Mandarin and I couldn't find the characters in an online Japanese dictionary via writing them out in correct stroke order. What would this mean? A fake? I believe the sword is old based on its patina and general condition. Would additional pictures help? If so please let me know what is most useful as I don't want to spam a million images. Thanks again, Jason R.
