Mjs22 Posted September 13 Report Posted September 13 Hello everyone, I believe I have a naval commissioned tango pre 1938. Can you help with the translation Quote
ROKUJURO Posted September 13 Report Posted September 13 Just a guess: YOSHIMITSU? Mike, how long is the blade? It appears to have a SHINOGI so might not be a TANTO but a longer blade. Quote
Mjs22 Posted September 13 Author Report Posted September 13 Sorry about the lack of info. Here is a pic with dimensions. Do you notice the chevrons? Reminds me of military. Quote
ROKUJURO Posted September 13 Report Posted September 13 Photo is upside-down. The length of the blade (as far as I can see just about 21 cm) is indeed that of a TANTO, however it is made in SHINOGI-ZUKURI style which is not common. It has nothing to do with military. Quote
Lewis B Posted Friday at 10:21 PM Report Posted Friday at 10:21 PM Looks like a cut down long blade. Maybe the previous incarnation was damaged so a shorter Tanto blade was engineered. Quote
