Kantaro Posted June 14 Report Posted June 14 Would like your opinion on this Tanto. Blade 27,2 cm / 10.70 Inch Total 36,50 cm / 14.37 Inch Broad 2.54 cm / 1 Inch Is this a Japanese Tanto or not? How old would you estimate it? What would be a fair price estimation in this condition without koshirae? All info is welcome. Kind regards. Quote
Kantaro Posted June 15 Author Report Posted June 15 Thanks Alex much appreciated! Any ideas of the value question? What would be a "fair" price estimation in this condition without any koshirae? Quote

Blades like this typically don't command much on the market. Its a mass-produced user piece from its time. Worn-down mumei muramachi blade with big flaws and out of polish. Artistic value is approximately nil, though it does have historical value as an example of what it is, not to mention it would probably still poke a hole in something just fine if needs be. Without any koshirae your market gets smaller. I have a similar one in a similar state I would let go for a hundred bucks and a beer..though you might do a little better. Please note I am not an expert and this is not financial advice. 1 Quote
