Lewis B, Thank you so much for your comments and it could be a great idea with the Japan Art Fair! The mune doesnt remain straight to the tip, it differs around 1,5-2 mm to the end. However I might be interested of selling the tanto at an auction house or private sales in the coming future.

Thank you all for your comments! Lewis B: Here comes the measurements. It's new terminology for me but I hope it's right. Nagasa: 19 cm Total length: 27,5 cm Motohaba: 14 mm Motokasane: 5 mm Bugyotsuji: Thank you for translating and I asked a Japanese person at museum i Stockholm today and she said it stood Yoshimitsu. Here comes some more pictures if its help to determine the tanto and age.

Dear Steve, here it comes. Looking forward to hear from you.

John and Mark, thank you for your feedback!

Dear all, I got a Tanto from a friend and don't know anything about it. He said it's old and in good shape. I can try to find someone to translate who made it. Would just be interesting to hear your thoughts and I guess this forum I found could give me some information. All the best / Ulrik

Would highly appreciate if someone are interested of selling an Onin Tsuba that has almost the same style as the one on the picture. Willing to spend maximum 800 dollar. Best Regards / Ulrik

Hello Alex, Hope this will clarify. Shinogi-ji is probably masame hada. Hawatari: 65,5 cm Total length: 82 cm Kasame: 6 mm Added the mounting as well just as curiosity! Looking forward to hear from you.

Thank you so much for advice Caracal. Im a member of NBTHK Sweden so have already asked Jan-Erik. Alex A is ok i post more pictures and it might be easier for you? Best Regards / Ulrik
