I know this is a bit out of the norm, but I bought my 12 year old son a repro Japanese sword he wanted at a local junk/fleamarket type store. I have been trying to find one like it on the web and can't. I know it a "current" made sword. I don't know much about real Japanese swords, and even less about the repros out there. It is marked 440 Stainless Steel and nothing else I can see......unless the emblem or maybe Japanese character is a trademark. It looks fairly good, but I have no real idea at all. The blade is fairly sharp though, and I have secured his word he will not horseplay with it or I will take it away from him. It seems almost as sharp as the real ones I have.
Pictures are said to be worth a thousand words......so rather than trying to explain by words I am posting these rather quickly taken shots.
I would appreciate anything you might be able to tell me about this thing......so I can tell him what it is.
If it isn't permitted here, sorry, just delete it.
Thanks,
Ron
