Help with this tanto

If this were a Japanese tanto - and of course, it is not - it would appear to be signed and dated. The "date" says something like "Joji 2nd year", but I can't record of any such date - - and it looks fishy. The "signature" is some thing like "Matsui Tani" - and it is gobble-di-gook. This is Chinese fantasy stuff - -- IMHO
