Bugyotsuji Posted July 25 Report Posted July 25 Why? What is it about this sword that attracts you? The Mei screams ‘fake’! Quote

Thanks, really the price is what attracted me, I thought it seemed too good to be true. I'm looking to purchase my first Japanese sword but I'll admit, it's a bit overwhelming Quote
Brian Posted July 25 Report Posted July 25 The kanji look odd. But that yasurime looks convincing. However...that style of "chippy" carved mei, even if real, is mostly confined to arsenal/mass produced Showato, so at best you would likely be getting an oil quenched wartime blade, that is more suited to militaria collecting than handmade Japanese swords. If that's your thing, the price is cheap, and it turns out real..go for it. Quote
Kiipu Posted July 25 Report Posted July 25 Does the other side of the tang have any markings? Any stamps on either side of tang? Quote
