Hello Gavin,

The overall design of the first one looks like a tachi actually. However, he fishskin on the scabbard, the fittings and the hole in de hilt are similar to Chinese swords.

The overall design of the others are similar to a dao and jian.

Point is, the details or the combination of details makes it different.

Same for the saber of Jim. Your observations are details. A careless person might mistake this as a katana.

The visual essence of Korean swords varies greatly in my opinion and information or examples are rare.
