Is it original ww2 tanto?

Dawid,

there is no such thing as an "original WWII TANTO". What troops could it have been made for?

Instead, this is a non-Japanese weapon, made quite recently. The TSUKA-ITO is dead wrong (material and wrapping technique) as is the rest.

Sorry for you if you bought it!

Bruce,

I don't think that would make it Japanese.

I have the impression that the MACHI of the blade are not on the same level, but to be sure, we would have to see the naked blade.
