The blade is 7 inches, overall length of the blade is 9 3/8. Total length is 12 7/8. The scabbard was olive drab, but someone painted it long ago. The tang is marked with the number 33. The handle is marked with the same number. Victor.

I was hoping I could get some opinions on this sword from you gentleman. Been around a while. I didn't remove the tsuba, seppa or habaki for lack of time. What do you think? Thank you in advance. Victor.

Thank you for all of your input gentleman. It reminded me of a letter opener when I seen the hamon, but on a larger scale.

I picked this tanto up from a guy at work that his dad gave him. The scabbard is carved. The blade is 11 1\4 long. Overall the blade is 14 1/4 long. The blade is engraved on both sides. The blade is 5/16 thick. Any help you gentlemen can provide will be appreciated. Is it a handmade blade? Its age.

I'm not totaly new, just lost my member info. I found this tsuba while looking through some boxes at a neighbors. I do not know much about Japanese swords and was looking for some help. Is it real? Can the writing be translated? What kind of sword is it from, it's very heavy? Does it have any value? Any help your members can provide would be great.
