i want to share with you today a japanese machete,.it was given to me by my grandfather along with a cigarette case & some photos he aquired while in japan on an allied relief effort in 1945,minesweeping & testing for radiation,the radiation exposure eventually killed him,.the cigarette case he told me was given to him by a doctor in japan,my grandfather engraved "memory of japan" on the top of the cigarette case.so its very sentimental to me,as are all these items.,i dont know how he got the photos or the machete,dont know if he took the photos or what,.but if anyone has any info on the machete please comment because i would love to know more,it has engraved on the blade " Hand Bolo Forged" & made in Japan on the handle also has made in Japan on the scabbard.,any info or comments much appretiated.
