Thanks for the replies.

Thanks for sharing, I have seen the British, German and American sticks but never a Japanese. Neat stuff!

Thanks

Is the handle bakelite material?? The material looks similar to an AK-47 bayonet handle that I have...

 

Impressive to see from the Japanese.. Seen quite a few from US and German aircraft but not Japanese..

 

Thank you for showing us

Nice one Ron.
