Hi guys,
I do enjoy my bargain hunting (or more specifically, saving things from people that don't appreciate them enough) - and I managed to buy this blade in a UK auction, for a full purchase price of £50 (including delivery):
It was sold as a Tantō, with absolutely no other information, in an auction that included 12+ Japanese kitchen knives. Concerningly, this blade also came with kitchen knife a handle (that doesn't fit!).
So my first concern
