Miche Posted February 4, 2021 Report Posted February 4, 2021 Hi All, my first post and new to the forum. I recently got interested in Japanese swords and fittings. I can buy the following Kozuka with small knife locally for not that big amount of money. Is it original Japanese or is it a reproduction? The backside of the handle also has a dot pattern, not sure if this is Nankoji? Thanks for your help, Sincerely yours, Michel Quote
Geraint Posted February 4, 2021 Report Posted February 4, 2021 Dear Michel. Save your money, even the little bi that this would cost. Unless of course you need a letter opener? This is a reproduction. Have a look here, https://www.japaneseswordbooksandtsuba.com/store/Tsuba-&-Kodogu And also, a bit closer to home, here, https://nihonto.uk/ Take your time and give your eyes time to learn what to look for. Enjoy! All the best. Quote
