Yes.

I think you're all ready for the Zombie Apocalypse...

Funny thing is I hated that Zombie show - had a coworker who kept talking and talking about it.....
The blade is a WW2 bring back - was in a badly abused storage scabbard. Put some new fittings on it for the heck of it. Post 1870 blade, not one of the Heirloom ones but it is sharp. $15 at a local fleamarket about a decade ago.

wow... now that's a find. I used to collect some 40 years ago. I only had waki's but had a couple of really good ones. I sold them to a Japanese collector for the same price I found them because I knew they would go back to Japan. 1870 is nothing to sneeze at. My first, I made the mistake of taking the rust off the tang - it was pre-1600 so that was a bad mistake. The handle was in tatters, but it was white silk so was used during the civil war by someone supporting the emperor. Live and learn.

Dang. I had a buddy of mine from Osaka who is a weapons buff look it over before I did anything with it other than giving it a good wipe down with some break free clp. machine made blade, no marks on the tang. Kept the Shirasaia - its old with some worm holes in the wood - seller said it had been in the basement of a home in the Midwest - former owner decided to sell because the grand kids kept messing with it.

There were several National Treasure grade blades that disappeared after the war. These are so valuable, there is no price on them. They're probably in the attic of a home somewhere forgotten to time.
