  1. 27 cm circa...it should be considered a Tanto
  2. yes it is
  3. the signature in this case it could be easy GIMEI?
  4. buy or not buy it?
  5. yes it is...and so?
  6. I see a Tanto with muromachi blade (with "Bo-hi") ...it could be (it is only a suspect ...with my imagination) katana or wakizashi spear (shortened) but in this case with boshi "worked and smoothed"...because the "bo-hi" ends first gradually and not like on the katana. It could be good?
  7. sorry for big writing mistake
  8. To understand when the shortening was done, is it useful to see the holes, whether they were hammered or drilled? Does it change in the evaluation of the tanto? what does this look like?

  10. I would like to ask something... I have heard of some Tantos made by shortening the katana or wakizashi blade... it was a widespread practice even in the past (Edo or before?) to obtain a Tanto in this way... if the blade is good and beautiful as metal can it be of value? Should the signature under the handle of a tanto obtained from shortening necessarily be false GIMEI? thank you
  11. Of the 3 holes, one is in the "classic position" (upper) , other two (both) close to the final part of the tang (down) and very close each other. Thank very much John
  12. or if it is Ubu-surige?
  13. Thank you very much but no period-era or smiths indications?
  14. Have you ever seen this tokorusho who doesn't have his registration number like this? Is it valid? Can you translate what it says about the katana? Thank you
  15. thanks Ray
  16. Tanto suriage? it means that before it was a wakizashi or katana?
  17. This writing is on a "Tanto" tang. I would like to know what is written and whether the type of engraving suggests an ancient or recent (and not very credible) writing. Thanks
