Ok, so it's been almost a week and no one has posted sooooooo here we go.
I picked this up from a very good friend a few years back. He was a collector and had an extremely nice assortment of blades that he had collected over his many years. When I met him seven years ago, I fell in love with this sword. A few years back, Will practically gave it to me. It was only after I came back to visit him again that I found out that he'd passed away shortly after I last saw him. He'd been battling cancer for some time.
The blade is in dire need of restoration, the saya and tsuka (scabbard and hilt respectively) are extremely ornamented and a two piece unit. The inner liner being made of Japanese red cedar and the outer being made of brass. I have a working knowledge on blade design but, shameless plug, if anyone here happens to know an individual versed in kanji and/or Nihonto restoration please hit me up.
Sad story over, my car with a sword that's a hundred plus years old, here's pics.

Very cool! I have zero knowledge of knives and swords - but it's beautiful. Great memory you'll always have, too!
