Yes it appears to be a real Japanese sword converted for military use in WW2. From the shape it is from the Muromachi era.

thank you mr PNSSHOGUN for comment

 

wow blade so really old

this shobu zukiri shape?

[vajo]

Samu please oil the iron parts and the blade. But please no oil on the nakago.

[samusamu]

thank you Mr vajo for comment

 

ya I will try to take care this blade

because i really dont know to care this

[vajo]

Samu it is a real old nihonto. Preserve it only by oiling the iron parts and the blade. Dont try to polish it. When you oil it dont forget to remove the habaki and give oil on that part of the blade too.

 

If the leather of the saya is not dry out give the leather some care and fat it.

[Ray Singer]

It is likely I think that this is a naginatanaoshi (as I wrote to you earlier).

He is in Indonesia. I think he can help.

[vajo]

As ray said it is a naginatanaoshi. 

 

The sword is out of polish so we did not see much.

 

If you will take pictures of the blade so remove all parts from the blade and try to make a full picture of the blade. If you want to try to see the hamon you should hold the blade in the sunlight and try to catch the hamon from different angles.

[samusamu]

thank you Mr vajo

becouse in here already night

[vajo]

 

I think it looks like a interesting sword.

[samusamu]

halo mr vajo

waw look amazing ya

[samusamu]

can you tell me what intersting with this sword?

[vajo]

Marcello this is a muromachi period naginatanaoshi. Its around 500 years old. I have no clue who makes it, but these kind of swords are very enjoyable (if it is polished). Your look likes in good condition. Out of polish yes, but it looks healthy. From the pictures my guess is that it has over 60 cm nagasa (cutting edge).

 

Maybe it would like looking like that.

 

[cisco-san]

Hi Marcello,

 

Christoph is right.

This is a real old Japanese blade, but the polish is not the best ...

In good polish is might be very nice. As you probably know, a proper polish costs a lot of money - approximately USD 100 per inch!

But please do not try to polish this blade by yourself or any other self thought polisher - only via Japanese trained Togishi. Otherwise you would destroy this piece of 500 years old Japanese History!

So please oil the blade to keep the current condition - as Grey wrote --> http://nbthk-ab.org/cleaning-maintenance.html

 

 

edit: Christoph did some Photoshop miracles - your blade could look like that after proper polish !! :-)

 

greetings

Klaus

[samusamu]

yaa nice too see if polished like picture

but i really happy the blade look healty like you say

what a long history ya with this katana. from naginata to katana and go to WW2

[vajo]

No, it was not a naginata.

[samusamu]

halo Mr cisco-san

really expensive ya for polish

 

ya it`s blade not i care before. it just hanging and never i care. because i thing before is not a real katana

[samusamu]

i see in internet explanation the naginatanaoshi is from naginata and cut to katana

that correct?

[cisco-san]

Hi,

 

can be, but can be made as Nagiata-Naoshi as well.

[samusamu]

hay cisco-san

thank you
