Is this a Janwi?

[mrwizard]

Hi Charles,

Thank you!
A search for "genoui" leads to a lot more information than a search for "janwi".

Yes, a shame that the scabbard is lost but on the other hand the
blade looks nice enough to make up for it.

Yes, it is definitely wood, though i don't know what kind of wood.
And i also forgot to add: There is no makers mark and the steel does not appear to be wootz.

Best Regards,
Thilo
