Excellent photo.
I've seen other pic's/video's showing the sharpness and strength of the Japanese sword, But this is a first of it cutting a type 30 bayonet.
Very Cool.
Thanks for sharing this pic and your education in the art.

To a certain extent,.... but a WW2 bayonet is not legally collectable, (as far as I know) in Japan, and so would have been cut in half by the police anyway.

It's a training bayonet, so soft unhardened steel blade. The goofy fuller starting a couple inches from the crossguard is a dead giveaway, even with an old grainy pic.
Still pretty interesting to see.
