IanB Posted November 3, 2009 Report Posted November 3, 2009 I have seen Japanese made blades in the shape of Chinese staff weapons, usually with the blade emerging from a fancy dragon's head that acts as a kind of tsuba. I suspect most are early Meiji since they may well have appealed to the tourists. Ian Bottomley Quote
