Gents,

Some pictures of the inside of this snapped tanto showing the two part construction. I'm guessing it was snapped during the occupation in accordance with the weapons disposal order. It looks like it was a very beautiful piece back in the day, maybe the G.I. could not let it go to the smelter even in two pieces.

 

Semper Fi,

Bob

Inspite of the bad photos it looks like a KOBUSE SAN MAI TANTO to me.

 

Destroying handmade blades is always a sad loss! Please do not throw the pieces away, they can always serve as material for research. One could even forge a new blade from it!
