Ok do you have any suggestions on pictures I should take so that you may be able to determine the age?

Ok thanks for the information. In your opinion would you think that this is a antique nihonto or some modern reproduction?

Hello, I recently picked up a tanto and don't know very much about it. All I know was that it came from an antique market in kyoto. Any information on whether or not this tanto is genuine or fake would be greatly appreciated and also what era it could be from if its genuine. All the pictures are uploaded on this google doc here because I was not able to attach the images directly to this post. Thanks https://docs.google.com/document/d/18nBqNpXkCD0JOd723veEciAx8nO5BmA9o7S_uOmSkT8/edit?usp=sharing
