Has anyone noticed the tang ? The 'grooves' suggest to me that the tang may originally been 'fixed' with resin. The grooves would provide a good 'key' to prevent movement.

I too think likely a Takouba blade ....possibly, even 'locally made'. It is possible the dark patination was caused by the blade being quenched in cocconut oil....I read 'somewhere' that this oil gives a dark layer ...which also helps prevent rust...so again it may be more recent than it looks.

Fortunately no-one was suckered in and bought this.
