Pretty sure it's a Fake.

Submitted by Razith on Fri, 2011-02-25 07:07

Hey everyone, my grandmother sent me a Katana that she bought, and I just want some information about it, mostly if the tang say's anything interesting. It was listed as a 'Real' Nihonto, I'm pretty sure it's just a replica, but I've been known to be wrong before, Any help with confirming this is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi Razith, Yes I does look

Hi Razith,

Yes I does look like a fake. The signature is something like 'Hanajiri Bizen' 花尻備前 - not sure what it means.
