Mystery Item??
Hello all a friend of mine in Arkansas sent me a few photos of an item he picked up today. He knows I like militaria and the seller told him the former estate owners had lived in Japan during the occupation.To me it looks like some type of farming implement but I was hoping I could get some help it strikes me as strange that it also had 2 fullers in the blade. Anyone know of such a tool or is it simply made as a homemade brush cutter or something else???
Looks like something my Marines would make with too much free time on their hands.
I am guessing for farm use?
That is a farmer's tool for digging up East Asian Mountain Yam, a vertically long vegetable, difficult to dig out intact. It gets ground into a sticky starch, like Hawaiian poi and gets poured over rice.
Thank you very much Nick! I appreciate the help!
