[@tommykaji4414]

Good job

[@davedoughty1213]

Great restoration job!!! I was a little worried when I saw that the handle was not being reused… however your version was much better and you incorporated the sheath as well. Thanks for sharing your work with us!! The Old Army Scout…

Nice looking knife and sheath.

これはおそらく日本製でもなく、短刀でもない。見苦しい刃物だ。

[@АндрейТрушин-к1в]

Это не японский танто. Китайское рукоблудие. Автор, зачем Вы мекуги металический вставили?

[@youyoyouyo1407]

The work was excellent Please, what type of wood did you use?

[@GeoffryWK]

Strange that it even rusted. Japanese steel is the best in the world for knives and swords. I have a WW2 Katana that is 80 years old and not a speck of rust on it. It does need a new handle. Wood and cloth don't last forever.

Could use some more polishing.

I was wondering when the old wire-wheel would make its appearance.

Rusty yes, old no, Japanese, never. Cheap knock off, yes.

柄の分解が乱暴すぎて驚いた。 切り刃も平も砥石に全く当てないので驚いた。

You spent a lot of time on the handle and sheath, why not splash out on a nice piece of ebony or some other good hardwood?
