sascha1 Posted April 30, 2023 Report Posted April 30, 2023 Dear members, I would value your opinion on this tanto. I know nothing about it except for these pictures. Wishing you good health. Quote
Brian Posted April 30, 2023 Report Posted April 30, 2023 The only thing that would make it a yoroi doshi is the shape, thickness, and triangular cross section. So from those pics, it is a tanto. Nothing can be said about it being an armour-piercer. 1 Quote
Geraint Posted April 30, 2023 Report Posted April 30, 2023 Dear Sascha. Overall shot of the blade and one of the mune plus a shot of the koshirae please. All the best. Quote

ROKUJURO Posted April 30, 2023 Report Posted April 30, 2023 Sascha, looks like a normal AIKUCHI. How thick is the MUNE (back) above the HABAKI, and how long is the blade (NAGASA)? Quote
Jean Posted April 30, 2023 Report Posted April 30, 2023 Jean stated all. Without any measurements nothing can be said on this tanto. 1 Quote
Guest Simon R Posted May 2, 2023 Report Posted May 2, 2023 It's a beautiful little piece. I love the dust-protection fuchi/koiguchi and the en-suite copper fittings with hanging wisteria mon! I'm jealous! Simon Quote
DoTanuki yokai Posted May 3, 2023 Report Posted May 3, 2023 I think katana boutique on eBay always got a description. Quote
