Hi all,
I recently got this blade, both the seller and I are fairly sure that this is just a fantasy item and for that reason I got the blade for free, but I would still like your opinion.

You are correct. It is a modern fantasy item.

Whether we like it or not TR blade collecting is full of "stories", some of which can result in very expensive lessons for the unwary who accept at face value some of the statements that have been made by even some very well known individuals in collecting. That is NOT repeat NOT the case here - just a general statement. So (tongue firmly planted in cheek) if I put on the "hat" of one who comes to mind how would I describe this knife blade?? "Blade from a 'Last Ditch' Hitler Youth knife made for the "Werewolves" that were defending Germany at the end of WW2 who had adopted the Eight Virtues of the Bushido Code". That should work.

There is just no end to the imaginative items out there!
Yeah, its fake. If its sharp you can still use it for cooking XD
The etching on the blade is clearly a fake. However the blade could have originated in a pre-WW2 hunting knife or dagger. The mark shown is a known TIGER brand logo used during TR era. The fact the hilt and pommel is missing is probably as it would betray the knife as civilian use.
