Real or Fake Is this tsbua authentic? Also can anyone tell me anything about it if it is? Bought in Japan at an antique shop.

Signature important?

I’ve had this sword from gramps for 60 years. Does not having a signature on tang make it worth less or fake?

New Sword on the way New Swords Incoming

Hello and hope you are all doing well.

Just a photo-dump of some incoming swords I irresponsible purchased/custom-ordered over the course of Summer.

The daisho are made by Ryansword from 1095 High-Carbon Steel with Midare hamon and are directly inspired by the Fate/Samurai Remnant daisho worn and used by the main protagonist, Iori Miyamoto. Also inspired by u/SSJTriforce's first attempt at recreating the swords (Link: https://www.reddit.com/r/Katanas/s/aFWmPYoLKB).

Next is a custom Tanjiro Nichirin katana also made by Ryansword, with a blackened electroplated 1095 High-Carbon Steel blade, with the original fuchi-kashira fittings swapped out for silver-plated basket-weaved themed fuchi-kashira, and bamboo menuki. Sageo was forgone for a newly purchased one that I think will go well with a the sword. A mistake was made on the blade and is currently undergoing re-blackening for it.

Finally, from the eBay store, wang-katana2011, a blackened T-10 blade with a distinct red hamon. This sword design was inspired also by Kimetsu no Yaiba (Demon Slayer), specifically by Kokushibou's katana, Kyokokukamusari (lit. "Hollow Cry of the Godless").

If any of you are interested once they come in, stay tuned and hope to update soon.

Enjoy.

Wakizashi from the Genna period (Early Edo period) signed Heian Jo Masakuni - he worked under Horikawa Kunimasa :D
The habaki is really really lovely being what seems solid silver which I thought was pretty sweet! The polish is unbelievably beautiful in person 🙌 the Hada , hamon, and sugata are the nicest I’ve ever personally seen :D

where can I find Byakuya's Katana.

For some context, my boyfriend is a fan of bleach and his favorite is Kuchiki Byakuya. I wanted to get him the katana as a first year anniversary gift or something close to it but I really don't want to waste my money on some plastic object or a scam website. do you guys have any suggestions on where I could find or get something similar?
