I am fortunate to own some original hand forged blades. My 1st purchase many years ago is probably my favourite. Its shape and heft make it feel like a true warriors weapon.
It was fitted out in WW2 for an army officer it seems going by the handle mounts but it's still got its civilian scabbard
.
The only inscription on the tang is 2 characters, man & roku.
Does anyone have any thoughts on why this inscription?
