NihontoEurope Posted June 26, 2013 Report Posted June 26, 2013 Hello, If authentic, it has been cut down from a Wakizashi or Katana into the current size. Kanji added after reshaping. /Martin Quote

Ed Posted June 28, 2013 Report Posted June 28, 2013 Do not buy fake. Good advise for you to follow, sadly too late for those two. Study before you buy, or just shop ebay and continue to throw away your money. Quote
dynkykato Posted June 28, 2013 Author Report Posted June 28, 2013 Therefore, first, I ask specialists.On eBay there are some good, genuine, authentic.Unfortunately, there are many fake.Sometimes, it is difficult for experts to distinguish the original from the fake. Thank you. Quote

runagmc Posted June 29, 2013 Report Posted June 29, 2013 If you keep studying authentic Japanese swords, soon you will laugh at fakes like these. You won't even have to look twice... it will be obvious at first glance... Quote
dynkykato Posted June 29, 2013 Author Report Posted June 29, 2013 I study theoretical picture.Until now, the only authentic Katana that I saw is what I bought it and presented it on the forum.My Katana is not great value.If I see more genuine Katana, when you know better these beautiful swords. Thanks. Quote
