I am brand new to your cool site. I have inherited what is supposed to be a very old Tanto from my recently deceased father. He was given this by his landlord while stationed in Japan (Osaka area?) in 1954. There is writing on the wood. Appears to possibly be Yoshimichi? The gentleman who gifted it to my father wrote "700 year" on it in 1954. I truly do not know the worth of this but I am certain that members here do. The closed unit is just over 12" and the blade is 7 1/4". Pics below.
I am in North Carolina and would like to sell this to whomever sees the value. Please let me know if there are simple questions and if I am proceeding properly.
