Thank you for your pictures. You saber is no doubt a handsome Korean saber.

Maybe the knife was a wrong example. The other link has Korean swords With pins too.
Jim also posted a lovely example with a pin. This saber is also Japanese in appearance. However, it's absolutely not Japanese or Japanese influenced.
Your example looks more Chinese in appearance, but this does not mean it's Chinese or Chinese influenced.
