Modern make katana

Looks good to me but ppl are going to want more pics, especially of the nakago (handle, hilt, part you hold with the hole in it) 

 

Looks good so far other than some rust but it looks authentic. 

 

PS. Who or what is a desperate young smith and who told you that? From what I've seen it looks well made but I'm going to need more pics to determine an approximate age or authenticity

Christian,

 

where did you see a signature?  All I can see are photos of a sword blade that is probably made in Japanese style. 

I checked komonjo on eBay.

I have one by Komonjo.

 

I still think those are excellent blades, made in Japan but definitely Gimei. They have a iaito polish and cut better than any Chinese blades I have.

 

So good buy? I’d say yes since you can get a very nice blade for about $500, but as to who actually makes them, this is a mystery.
