Hi all, I won this small blade on ebay thinking that it was a kozuka blade. It was labled as a "ninja knife". Despite the lable and poor photos, I put in a low bid and won the auction. What arrived in the mail is a bit of a mystery. The construction is quite facinating despite its' small size. I believe it is too thick to fit a kozuka handle and the blade too wide to fit in a saya. It appears to have a hamon or at least a hardened edge.
It looks Japanese but as to its purpose, I have no idea. I am Intrigued by the "rat tail" tang, it must fit on to some form of handle. Has anyone else seen a similar blade? I'm hoping a more learned collector can shed some light on my newest "ninja knife." Regards, Greg Last edited by sabertasche; 10th September 2010 at 05:50 PM. Reason: addining smaller pics |
