asian (Chinese?) sword

Whoops, here's the whole thing. What turned me off was how poorly matched the hilt and blade are. They just don't fit together in my eyes.

It's Chinese. But it's a modern Chinese fantasy sword/knife, not a fake/repro historical sword (nor an actual antique).

I've seen similar being advertised as Mongolian.

Agreed. The Chinese are currently combining all sorts of regions, and time-frames in their "antique" weapons. Some are extremely cool, and imaginative. Unfortunately, they are too expensive for re-sale.
