Hello, My name is Thomas and I am new to the Forum, I acquired a little wakazashi sword in trade from a friend who collects all things sharp and pointy, he traded me this wakazashi that he got from a collector who got it from SleezeBay and it looks old but I know nothing about Nihonto blades, the blade measures 17.42" from the top of the brass collar and a full 18.26" from the handguard, the tang is about 5.1625" (5 1/8) roughly, it's very black and has the hole in it for the wood pin, has a nice sheath and a little knife on the side of it. So I traded him my wwii german bayonet cause he's into that stuff. I am 1/4 Japanese and no nothing about my Grandmother's culture, kind of embarrassing. Lol! Just want to know if this is a good Wakazashi I will try to upload more pics but having some issues. Thankyou
