KLJ Posted September 29, 2017 Report Posted September 29, 2017 Hey everyone! I recently found and bought this katana, but I am wondering whether this is a real WW2 Japanese NCO katana (shin gunto type 95) or whether it is a fake. I think it is fake because there are are no Arabic numbers on the blade, the blade itself has whole different proportions than the usual and there is no habaki. Since I am new to this kind of stuff, I would like to hear your opinion on this. Quote
Jean Posted September 29, 2017 Report Posted September 29, 2017 Not my area but I'll say fake. The groove should run till the kissaki. Quote
lonely panet Posted September 29, 2017 Report Posted September 29, 2017 sorry that's so bad sorry, but I think that's a faked off a fake. ahhahaha my eyes are bleeding Quote
SAS Posted September 30, 2017 Report Posted September 30, 2017 I hope you didn't pay too much; that is a particularly uncraftsman-like replica.... Quote
