So its a Tanto in Aikuchi style Koshirae? Last couple of weeks I'm diving in the Nihonto swimming pool, learned a lot but can't swim yet.

Sorry for being an entry collector. Nihonto translated to english susposed to be Japanese Sword. Never bothered you guys with chinese copies. Its not required to read my topics, let alone you need to reply. Wish you all a healty 2025. Ivo

Thanks, I bought my first Tanto. This was on the blade. I did read the topic about Kizu but wasn't for sure. Here some pics. Total lenght is 45 cm Blade is 28 cm.

Hello, is this "crack" a so called Hagire or a forging flaw, opening? Thanks...

Okay, thanks👍

Is that a yes or no?

I use this cloth for my gun. Can I use it on a antique waki?

Worth is in the eye off the owner

Some more measurements Nakago 65 mm thick, blade runs to 41 mm thick. Its a small blade: 245mm. Gave the blade some TLC and applied some choji oil on it. Now waiting for a nice stand.

It does not bother me, he can't help it that he's born in France, most blunt people in Europe. Thanks for the resonse, I've learned a lot in a few days.

Its 47.3 cm, thanks for your time

Thanks for your time, here a picture off the blade

Thanx for the response, I think, but for me its a learning curve. Can somebody give me a estimation of its age????

I,m an entry level collector, have 1 Nihonto Waki and 3 Gunto's. I know this isn't a $1000 blade, just want to know the age and some blade teminology. Thats all, my grandma is also dead but I still love her...Thought this was a forum for all Japanese sword collectors, not only for connoisseurs. Thanks...

Hello, just bought my second Wakizashi. Already got informed on the translation sectie its a Gimei and Suriage. But thats all. I like to know some more about this item. Mayby somebody can give it to me?? https://myalbum.com/...4b-beb9-5e426a8729b5
