peter Posted September 10, 2014 Report Posted September 10, 2014 Hello all as stated I have been asked by a friend with little internet access to post his Tanto on NMB for the opinions of the experts, any help good or otherwise would be appreciated. I couldn't post images so had to do a link. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nseycgo0in8j ... VvlNa?dl=0 Many thanks Peter Quote
cabowen Posted September 10, 2014 Report Posted September 10, 2014 This is a souvenir piece. It is signed "Gassan Sadakazu", and is without a second look, fake. These were made in large quantities in Seki for tourists, etc. Quote
peter Posted September 10, 2014 Author Report Posted September 10, 2014 Thank you Chris for the quick reply, were these items made by folding or from one piece with acid hamon? Peter Quote
cabowen Posted September 10, 2014 Report Posted September 10, 2014 Usually one piece, acid etched hamon. Occasionally you will see one with a real hamon...This one looks to be the first variety. Quote
