JJ125 Posted March 17 Author Report Posted March 17 Thank you . Any explanation as to why this was happening seems like a lot of work to make a fake blade? Quote
JJ125 Posted March 17 Author Report Posted March 17 I’m sorry to bother you with something that clearly doesn’t belong on this site. Thank you again Quote
kissakai Posted March 17 Report Posted March 17 Hi JJ It's all a learning curve so have a look at some Japanese examples to help choose your next sword Quote

The intention was to deceive a potential buyer for profit. Don't worry! You've not wasted anyone's time if you're learning from this. 1 Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted March 18 Report Posted March 18 We see the same thing in the Japanese military swords. Some of the fakes are very course, and hastily done. Others took considerable time and effort to match the real details. I've wondered the same thing. Yet, apparently, they can do this quite cheaply, so getting collector prices for them is a tremendous profit. Quote
