TODAY WE'RE FEATURING THIS ANTIQUE (WWII ERA) JAPANESE SUGAR CANE SCYTHE. THIS WAS BROUGHT BACK FROM JAPAN BY A RETURNING AMERICAN SOLDIER.

THIS SCYTHE MEASURES APPROXIMATELY 17" IN HEIGHT WITH A SLIGHTLY CURVED BLADE WHICH ITSELF MEASURES NEARLY 7" IN LENGTH. THE BLADE IS MOUNTED ATOP A 14" WOODEN HANDLE WHICH HAS A ROPE AT THE BASE SO THIS MAY BE HUNG ON A PEG OR NAIL.

THE BLADE IS PROBABLY COMPOSED OF HIGH CARBON STEEL AND HAS RUSTED AS ONE WOULD EXPECT DUE TO IT'S AGE. THERE ARE 4 JAPANESE CHARACTERS IMPRINTED ON ONE SIDE OF THE BLADE. THERE IS ALSO THE NUMBER "230" IMPRINTED AS WELL.

A CLASSIC PIECE OF JAPANESE TOOLING!
