				 Taiwan Paiwan Formasa sword/dagger 
 
			
			Hello All,
 At first sight,  the pictured sword looks like a typical tourist Paiwan sword.
 
 After close inspection, the quality is quite decent. Too much effort for just a tourist piece.
 - hilt is sturdy and looks peened with washers
 - blade is hardened and even looks folded
 - even the scabbard is sturdy and well made
 
 Could any of you bring me back to reality and tell me this was made for tourists?
 
 Thank you.
 
 Kind regards,
