@StBeesSilver - really? the sword + the holder are only 193.6 grams, the equivalent of 6 and a bit silver coins?

Yes, very deceiving. Swords always are when made. 

The skull is a lamb I think😂.

Very sneaky indeed! The weight of an average Wakizashi is ~ 2lbs (about 900 grams) + the holder and then multiply by 1.34 due to silver vs Tamahagane (Japanese steel traditionally used to make a Wakizashi with density ~ 7.8 g/cm3 vs silver density ~ 10.46 g/cm3)

I totally didn't spend ages researching Japanese swords before guessing and I definitely didn't enlist the help of AI. Great sword, fun post, I've run out of reactions or I would hit you up

The coin was quite thick, but still only 11g, so tiny. There was also 1 oz bar lying around, looking quite big compared to sword but we know that 1oz bars aren't big at all 😅. Yes, quite deceiving.
