Im new to nihonto, and would like to get into the hobby. I saw this listing on ebay and something seemed off about it, but the seller insists it is real.

Far as I can remember, this guy sells modern copies/recreations that are probably made in China or Korea.

Some of them have had artificial aging done.

I’m pretty sure this is one of Changtian Sword’s new eBay accounts. This stuff looks spot on for his usual replica.

Thanks for letting people know.
