Scogg Posted November 20 Report Posted November 20 Hi Logan, Unless it’s being offered at a pretty low price, I’d recommend continuing to shop around. It does look like a genuine wakizashi, but in its current condition, it’ll be extremely difficult to appreciate any activities in the steel. The hamon is very hard to make out in the photos; I suspect due to a buffing or improper polish; and the nearly nonexistent hamachi suggests a tired blade. Overall, I think you could find something more enjoyable if you wait for the right piece. Other opinions may vary, but that's what I see. All the best, -Sam 3 Quote
