William Jennings Posted September 6, 2024 Report Posted September 6, 2024 Hey all! I have the opportunity to buy this sword, but I’ve never seen anything like it. The seller said it came off Okinawa and also has a good luck flag with it. What type of sword is it? What is its age and value? (Rough guess) Quote
moriarty Posted September 7, 2024 Report Posted September 7, 2024 Okinawa? To me it seems like a dha or taab from South East Asia, and not a very old version at that. Maybe a tourist trap? 3 Quote
Yumso Posted September 7, 2024 Report Posted September 7, 2024 The shape seems like the head of naginata. Too thin to be 협도 or 월도. Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted September 7, 2024 Report Posted September 7, 2024 Does that blade actually fit in the scabbard? Doesn't look like it would. Did the locals have machetes? Quote

Expand Hi William..do you think there is a message in the above! But seriously, I'm with Bruce and am learning toward a farming implement for harvesting Goya or Sugar Cane. But IMO I wouldn't say it's a 'sword' in the context of what is normally dealt with here. Quote
