Thank you Bazza and Stephen. Now I am not sure on the maker. It was brought to my attention that the Yokohama Sukekane tang signature may not match other known signatures . The third kanji to be specific. Thoughts? http://s1164.photobucket.com/user/Kenhash8/media/Japan%20Knives/K-sukekane-01_15_zpsa9oxka6r.jpg.html http://s465.photobucket.com/albums/rr19/m115e/Dagger/IMG_0022_zpsrbxhu0ie.jpg

I will do some maintenance on it and google tonight. Would it be a Aikuchi tanto? Also, in what condition is it in? With a quick google all I see are swords that look better.

Thank you and I am surprised. I have upload a few more hopefully more clear pics. I will follow the care and maintenance instructions. Are we in agreement on the maker or should I retake those also? Do you think that is the original handle and such? I don't even know what it would have been used for. Thank you again.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to look this over. Purchased by or gifted to a family friend while he was in the US Air force flying supplies to China in the early '40s. We have no history on this blade so anything you folks know would be great. I do not think we are interest in selling it. However is it worth having insured? http://s465.photobucket.com/user/m115e/library/Dagger
