kusunokimasahige Posted January 27, 2009 Report Posted January 27, 2009 This looks like a total Chinese replica fake to me. Even the signature is fake. done by a dremel. KM Quote

Bugyotsuji Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 Piers...... its still no nihonto...... KM Henk-Jan, we have to get our readings correct, regardless of the subject matter! (Although Fabian pretty much had the reading to begin with.) Quote
kusunokimasahige Posted January 28, 2009 Report Posted January 28, 2009 Yes you are right about that but i just wanted to prevent him thinking he had a real tanto.. However tragic his buy was, it must be a learning moment. KM Quote
