I posted my 2 articles I'm citing to over rule the Japanese Sword Society . they made me mad when they said they were chinese . I'm going to state my evidence and I'll be the first to admit it is scarce , Silly me I think I can make a strong case that they are in fact Japanese and I hope for more expert scrutiny, If my theory can't pass expert muster, lets kick it to the ashbin where it belongs , and I'll cheerfully go back buying them for 20 $ on ebay. Please do me the courtesy of reading the articles and looking at the pictures with an open mind . Checkout lockjawknives.com and read his defination of a Kaiken . he still sells new ones in the $200 dollar range . I say his Kaikens and mine are something more like a lady might carry as opposed to a foot long Kaiken . More of a fashion accessory like Gucci Than something Tomoe Gozen might carry . So i've got no choice but to dispute the traditional defination of a Kaiken . Be sure to tell him about my free add . So can we agree and the following
Samuri women were expected to carry a Kaiken and it served 2 purposes , self-defense and Suicide or maybe a little 2 knife set , perhaps ?
Yes i do agree that the japanese women were training with sharpened bamboo spears to confront the US Marines , the peasant women that is , not the Samauri ones they may have had something better.
There was a large force of craftsmen in Seki churning out millions of edged weapons in the 30's and early war years . Forgers , polishers , fittings manufacturers and at all levels of skill form apprentice to master
Yes a critical shortage of rolling mill steel and oil . My theory is that all this production was what these guys refer to puddled steel , worn out railroad rails, hardest possible , or maybe , blasphemy traditional forged made for some of those rich ladies , cause that is what we are talking about.
At the end of the war Japan's population was appx 70 mil and traditionally only about were 5% were Samuari and half were women so should be at least 1.75 million ladies pocket knives floating around out there . Where are they ?
US Marines got to pick out of the 3 million surrendered and had 2 of then tell me that's where they got them . Like I said they were Marines so i did't believe them either for a long time , this conversation was at least 30 years ago. Then again since were Marines i had to take into consideration what else I knew about them , they will steal anything and because they have a lot of gong ho farm guys who volunteered to storm entrenched beaches in the big 2 were pack rats by nature . I like napoleon understood someone has to hand out blankets and fire artillery from well behind those front lines. I had 2 of them tell me that is where they got the knives I haven't yet posted . I asked both the same question , So you were there when they handed out those swords , why didn't you grab one of those . he said kid , i was 45, he said kid what would i want a sword for when i had my 45 , i didn't want to lug it around , figured one of my buddies would steal it , Those little things were so cute i thought my wife might like it. The article says they went door to door and all weapons including civilian ones.
japan was fuedal till 1854 and only 4 generations till the 30's . average annual wage was 1350$, average US women was 5'2"and weighted 125 . so these Japanese ladies were maybe 5' and 110 .
This seizure and destruction of all these weapons is a great tragedy for which we will forever have to answer . I understand the sneak attack on Pearl , but when we won we made a conscious attempt to destroy there culture which predates ours by a thousand years or so . I think we were so succesful that these could be a forgotten piece of history . Can't imagine how horrified i am to read that sentence aloud and realize i am about to publish it. I'm putting myself out there , cause i belive it . These could all easily be post war , that's what i started collecting , the knives of occupied Japan , that's precisely how low rent i am . But we'll talk about that later .
I had to put something out there before i posted my next set of pictures of my post war stainless steel Chinese knife . You'll see why when i publish my unknown double edge daggers.
Since i always criticize myself first , here goes ; Stop Bill please your killing me here , now your telling me you buy this stuff off ebay for 25 $ cause no one else knows what it is , in the world. and since there's no place in in any present kaiken theory they have to be some kind of low class junk , i mean i really even need to see them to make a decision . I think i remember you , you used to one of those after lunch lounge comedians , from down on the strip.
The only favor i ask of any of you is don't tell anyone aboutr my theory , they'll never believe it anyway and i won't be able to buy them for 25$ anymore
