Would anyone like to venture a guess on which sword this is? I won't divulge the answer immediately, so it can be considered a light-hearted challenge of sorts. Just how good are you...? Now, I'm not claiming to be personally any good at this at all, I'm just the one with the pic. Also, if you have any thoughts on the historical accuracy, or in-accuracy as it may be, of this of this piece, or just comments in general, I'm pretty sure that everyone will enjoy perusing them. Or tearing them apart, whichever the case may be.

Hint; it tested 63 Rc knife-edge and 41 Rc back-side...

p.s.; the fur is actually off a Sasquatch!

It looks like a CMKO*, reminiscent of my old Hanwei Practical Katana. If I had to guess, I'd say this is one of the new generation with the removable tsuka.

I doubt the 63 rc edge but am prepared to be convinced.

(not that there is anything wrong with that)

My finger sure was convinced, though... lol.

And yes, you are correct, Sir.
