what the pic is upside down or the blade ??

these are the only pics i have at this time

[Bob Coleman]

The Picture Is Upside Down! The Blade Is A Kogatana, A Small Utility Knife Mounted In The Scabbard Side Of A Wakizashi Or Tanto. They Have A Decorative Handle Called Kodzuka. 99% Of The Signatures On These Are Fake.
