I would call that a good buy, even if it is not very old. I love a "plain" Japanese tanto. I bought one a few years ago that has a Damascus steel blade and a white oak handle and sheath. It is very similar to yours except it does not have the flat "sides". I am certain that mine was made recently. It remains one of my favorites. Yours does look older. I hope it is what you are looking for and that you get to enjoy it as much as I have mine.
Best regards, Harry |

That's why I said that at best it may be WWII and over polished at best. At worst it is a recent repo........

I don't think it's WW2. I may be wrong, but it looks quite modern to me. Sorry.
