Hand Forged Bolo Machete "Made in Japan" saw action in NAM actually ? ...

Hi mates,
I have this thread here in the forum:
Japanese Machete

read with interest.

The comments of the topic starter as well as the comments of other colleagues in the thread make me suspect that machetes of this type could actually have been used in the Vietnam War.

I would be happy to hear your opinions on this topic!

Thanks in advance,
R.

I bought a machete like this myself.

In this thread:
Japanese Machete
I posted pictures of my machete and the dimensions.

I would be interested in information about this model and its use in "civilian" as well as military use, as well as the period of use and the production period of this model.
