If that was a genuine o-yari someone should be shot for butchering it and cutting down the tang. :mad:

Gene,

Thank you so much for making this available to the Forum members. So many collectors become "hoarders" and, sadly, their collections (and legacies) become lost and forgotten. Sharing your...

Gene (mare rosu) commissioned an analysis of some knives in his collection by Dr. Ann Feuerbach, and has generously offered to share it with us. As the PDF file is far too large to upload to a forum...

It's not really a question of "normal", David. Swords from this region quite often have long handles. A 2:1 blade:handle ratio is common, and I've seen some with 1:1 ratios.

Some even have...

Northern Thai or Laos would be correct, David. The longish handle and vestigial guard lead me to think this.
