Samurai sword advice........

[WULF]

Ive just come across a set of 3 curved bladed samurai swords in the loft with a stand!
A katana,a Wakazashi and a tanto.

What the hell should i do with them???

Advice appreciated.

Depends on the quality. If they're showpieces you can look at them. If they're real you can chop stuff with it

Join? It'd be worth it just to know. I've seen a few people do it. Or send me a photo and I can put one up. Can't field questions tho'

Chances are they're souvenirs. But you never know.

If they are what they sound like, they're the sort of Chinese-made things that rather odd unmarried men display on their mantelpiece, under an Airfix M-16 and next to a book-case groaning with paperbacks about the SAS and mass-murderers.

You might get thirty quid for them down the car boot sale. Sorry.

Every unmarried man on the forum is now doing a furtive stock check. That is if they're not still living with mum.

Be very careful when cutting air/swinging ornamental katana with any force.

Even those with a full tang have a tendency to snap at the habaki (collar) in front of the tsuba (guard) as they are usually die cast.

Indeed. What a pile of catchpenny tat, though.
