Hello,

 

This is a tanto for sale in my town.

The nakago seem to be cleaned up and a new polish is clearly needed.

 

Still, what do you think about this tanto ?

 

Thanks for sharing

Junk.

Sorry, just calling it as I see it. That blade shape is consistent with late Meiji export pieces of no art value.

I would be surprised if it was a half decent blade.

ok, not much more to say i guess.

 

It's an auction, announced to be Edo period, estimed to 300 Euros.

It would be Kane on the mei but i'm not sure at all.

I think you should let someone else buy this sword. The "mei" was not written by a Japanese and the blade looks like it was trimmed off from the front.
