ponyradish Posted June 9, 2016 Share #1 Posted June 9, 2016 I need some help with this dagger. The handle is bone or ivory. The blade is 12" in length and the scabbard is carved from wood. There is some etching on the sides of the blade but to faint to recognize. This was a Vet purchased piece but no recollection of where he obtained it. Thanks in advance, Pony. Ever seen anything like this Doyler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hudson Posted June 9, 2016 Share #2 Posted June 9, 2016 I moved this to SPOILS of war since it appears to be a vet bringback that is non-US. It does look like bone on the handle. How many sides to the blade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hudson Posted June 9, 2016 Share #3 Posted June 9, 2016 I did a quick Google search and found something similar used for knife sharpening: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponyradish Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share #4 Posted June 9, 2016 I guess you would call it six-sided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponyradish Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share #5 Posted June 11, 2016 I found out it was captured from a Japanese soldier in the Pacific during WW2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundance Posted June 11, 2016 Share #6 Posted June 11, 2016 That is a really neat item. Did a prior owner say it was a bring back from the Pacific? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted June 11, 2016 Share #7 Posted June 11, 2016 Lol...nope never saw one.My first thought was a first model luft dagger blade with a added handle. Some strange stuff comes out of the pacific.I have a chinese sword (one of two) taken after a charge of japanese soldiers in the Phillipines.Came from a medic who found two if these amongst the KIAs on the field. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
