thks Brain sorry I was really thinking making a good deal when I buy it I'm realistic but very disappointed if it a fake .. I dont want to start buying gendaito if all are false .. I want real think with real history being. But as everyone if we cant buy genuine at a lowest cost I think is better ..freaking signature I'm not sure about that think ..it look very genuine and the grain is well so far to me but as I say I'm not an expert ..I dont know what to say more thks for your time Brian if someone have more info about were its made please share( hope its not china fake) I will post more info when the seller answer me regards Julien

thank you Stephen for sure it not a real old blade like everyone is looking at and i dont have the knowledge to buy one of them in the present ....the mei look very great ..i work hard to tchek a lots lots of blade for sale on website and i think this one was an opportunity because of low 3 day auction high rank seller and product he sell ..maybee I'm wrong but hope not .. i never see fake gendaito like this one and still less with this mei ..hope I'm not going to buy shirosaya and kabaki for nothing no Stephen i dont ask Komonjo where he buy this sword but its was only the second time in 2 years i see that type of auction on ebay ..and as i say someone buy 8 of 10 blade that was in auction at the same time so i dont know what to think ...tchek is recent sell i do0 not know what to think about the origin but look very great http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=komonjo&ftab=AllFeedback&myworld=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2050430.m2531.l4585 i send a email to the seller and a email to Darcy Brockbank from Nihonto.ca because is from Quebec canada to .... i will let you know the answer of bolt thks if my blade is a fake because it like to brand new ..so it the same with this blade http://nihonto.ca/shibata-ka/..that really weird to me all the best Julien

the blade is very heavy in my hand and feel really good .. I dont think its a fake i already buy some sword from this seller and everytime I'm happy .. the mei as some sign of rust ...if someone cant find one like this one the web please advise but I dont think you gonna find one exactly like this ...It was a 3 day auction only ..I dont now where this guy get it sword but at the same time he sold 10 of them and one guy buy 8 at the same time ...so that weird ...by the way I love my new sword I dont buy for making money I buy for history and have some great piece in my gaming room as well as my Japanese pilot collection . Merci Julien
