A kitchen cleaver similar to the vintage meat cleaver shown here:
VINTAGE JAPANESE MEAT CLEAVER w CARVED WOODEN HANDLE | #131634673
The stamps are probably maker or quality stamps.

Thanks guy
Looks like a Chinese cooking knife with a restaurant name from Taipei in Taiwan and address (興隆街口), but photos are not sharp enough. How do you end up buying all these civilian items? Do they not come with any description?

Thanks Nick
If you had been imagining the IJA using that as a jungle machete, instead of chopping pork, here's how the real thing looked. Otherwise, not all that looks dangerous and sharp is militaria.
thanks, i was thinking used the Kama is the first time i see this thanks a lot
No, the Kama was part of the kitchen equipment, not for going through thick growth.
In Netherland Indies i known the Japaneses use "Heiho" Klewang this machete was make start from the Dutch Netherlands Klewang Naval Cutlass, here the 2 variant one without engrave from the M 1940 (black handle) produced in united states by Milsco (Milwaukee Saddlery Company)and the other (brown handle) make from a M1898/M1911 produced from farm Hembrug, Netherlands.
Japanese army in Netherland East Indie take a important number of Klewang and transform it in machete.
