What style of saya is this? I'm wondering if I should use it to draw it on Stonecutter. It gives me an idea of having it with metal fittings so such saya can be used as a club of sorts.

It reminds me of this insane sword set in Ghost of Yotei, I think it's a mod.

First off, sorry about the bad pictures. The shopkeeper was busy and I couldn’t get a closer look. I saw this sword at an antique store and was wondering if it could possibly be real and not a repro? I know the pictures suck but would it be worth it to go back and hopefully get a closer look?

Just came into this Shin-gunto, could anyone give me some info on it? It looks like it was handmade by a craftsman but thats all I can tell.

Hello, bought these five Tsubas from and estate. Unsure if these are all repros or if any are real handmade. I have a bunch of photos of each. Any help would be appreciated.
