I recently held one of these. They're much lighter than a real one. Everything seems a bit smaller. The habaki weighs less than half as much. The tuska feels far too small in the hand. The sword feels tinny. The seppa are complete rubbish and don't fit at all. They're purely decorative. The screw and the screw head is very weak.

Those badly polished Showa22 blades often hurt my eyes. I don't know who polished that swords for him.

Our dear friend Krystian posted the tsuba on Facebook. It's exactly my taste. Teruaki/Hideaki with Kao. Just a side note. My resemblance to living persons is purely coincidental. I would never claim that the pig resembles anyone.

Easy way for the most repros. Look at the nanako punches. Original it was positive. On fakes it is mostly negative.

Beautiful flamboyant hamon.

What blade is that John?

Hi Ed. Its a leather one. It was on the sword so i let it there. I don't know if it was original on it or only decoration but the leather looks old.

I have only one sword with leather cover (i think). Kanbun Norisada in gunto mounts.
