    by looking only from the direction of the polishing, I would say industrial made. But i can be wrong, i'm not an expert.

    One place for that thing. Trash heap. VERY obvious fake..not worth a dime.

    Kind regards.

    Hello David,
    These are both Chinese made Japanese style swords. It's impossible to give you a valuation on them as there are a number of forges producing these type of swords in China. The swords produced run the gamut from total junk that can only be placed on a wall for decoration, to fairly decent quality swords that can be used for actual practice. They can be had from $25 to $1500 or so.

    Yours do not seem to me to be the worst I've seen, but it is pretty much impossible to tell without having a knowledgeable person take them apart and inspect them carefully. Knowing the manufacturer would also help alot in determining how trustworthy these swords would be.

    Damn, just realized that Tim resurrected this thread from last September. Chances are the original poster no longer cares.


    Cheers,
    Paul Smith
