Marius Posted February 14, 2017 Report Posted February 14, 2017 Gents, I have just bought a rather interesting item - a kanamuchi (iron whip) shaped like a bamboo. I am looking for some information about it, as I found just scattered factoids on the net and these are not enough. Pics attached Quote
ROKUJURO Posted February 14, 2017 Report Posted February 14, 2017 Seen with the eyes of a smith, this is a wonderful work of art! Is it somewhat resilient like a spring? How old do you think it might be? Quote
Marius Posted February 14, 2017 Author Report Posted February 14, 2017 A bit like a spring, but I believe it is made of rather soft iron. Quote
b.hennick Posted February 14, 2017 Report Posted February 14, 2017 I have a very similar one. I too went looking for information. I did manage to but two sets of Menuki with a muchi motif. I collected images on Pinterest. Search for muchi. Regards, Barry Hennick 1 Quote
Marius Posted February 14, 2017 Author Report Posted February 14, 2017 Good advice, Barry! Thank you Quote

Nickupero Posted February 15, 2017 Report Posted February 15, 2017 You might be able to find more background info or something of similar nature in "50 Shades of Grey"... don't judge, wife made me watch it with her! Joking aside its a nice find 1 Quote
Greg F Posted February 15, 2017 Report Posted February 15, 2017 Wouldnt this injure the horse? Or is it more of a weapon? Greg Quote
b.hennick Posted February 15, 2017 Report Posted February 15, 2017 You might want to look at this thread. It shows my muchi menuki and other muchi. http://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/17587-theme-of-menuki/?hl=muchi&do=findComment&comment=183482 1 Quote
John A Stuart Posted February 15, 2017 Report Posted February 15, 2017 A police weapon as mentioned in Barry's link. John 1 Quote
Marius Posted February 15, 2017 Author Report Posted February 15, 2017 I did it again! I haven't looked up the NMB! Thanks, John Quote
