I have been looking at Japanese Tanto Daggers and Seppuku Knives, but I can't seem to find many others like this one. Can anyone help identify this dagger? I didn't remove the handle because I've never done that before. Should I leave that to a professional?
It has a wood scabbard encased in brass, I think, with a reveal to a copper-speckled metal surface. The handle seems to be wrapped with a thin rope or leather. The entire knife is decorated with bamboo leaves.
I hope I have provided enough info. Thanks!
