0331_usmc Posted July 15, 2019 Report Posted July 15, 2019 Not sure if this is the right spot, but picked up this little yanone for $30. Not sure if it is real. Does look old with appropriate patina. Overall length is 22cm and the "blade" is 6cm. Love to hear the thoughts of anyone more experienced. Quote
Surfson Posted July 16, 2019 Report Posted July 16, 2019 Probably real but with an amateur polish. Probably worth a bit more than you paid for it. Do you see a signature on the tang? Quote
0331_usmc Posted July 17, 2019 Author Report Posted July 17, 2019 No signature, just file marks. I kinda wondered about the polish. Luckily they did not touch the patina on the tang. I wonder if it would be possible to fix the amateur job. I'm sure it wouldn't make much financial sense, but it would look very cool to fix it and display. I imagine most togishi wont touch these.

Surfson Posted July 17, 2019 Report Posted July 17, 2019 Never bothered trying to find a polisher, even though I have a collection of yanone and most are out of polish. Quote
