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,
