This is an incredibly beautiful Japanese hand forged tanto letter from the late 17 early 1800s. It is very nicely polished and has a beautiful overall look to it. The handle wrap on it needs to be redone, but it has been stabilized in its current position. The handle hardware is matching and the tsuba is in excellent condition. Lots of inlay’s in gold and silver all over it. Take a look at all the photos to see general condition and dimensions. This came from a well accredited Antiques Dealer and although it is unpapered, it is the real deal.
