1 traditionally-made, water-tempered Japanese WW2 gendai sword by Ikkansai Kunimori available. Kunimori’s art name was Yasuhiro while he was at the Yasukuni Shrine. This fine antique Japanese sword would make an important acquisition for any collection.
The blade measures 26 3/16″ from blade tip to notch in the blade spine. This is a traditional gendai sword–there are no arsenal or Showa stamps on the nakago.
Yasuhiro/Kunimori made mostly swords with suguha/straight hamons—this sword has a wavy hamon, quite rare for Kunimori.

1 U.S. Vietnam Randall special order model 14 fighting knife available. This Vietnam Randall fighting knife would make a fine addition to any world militaria collection.
This model 14 is pretty interesting–one side of the handle is marked ‘INDO-CHINA 1969-1971’. The reverse side of the handle has what is likely the same inscription written in one of the indigenous languages of the Indo-China region.
There are a couple of characteristics of this knife that suggest it could have been carried by an Air America flight crew member. First, instead of the handle being inscribed just ‘Vietnam 1969-1971’, it says Indo-China. The countries of Indo-China include Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, and Myanmar. Air America operated covertly in Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. A second knife characteristic is the special order feature on this model 14 of a serrated blade spine. These serrations were common among flight crew members for cutting through the aluminum fuselage in the event of being shot down.
This fighting knife measures 11 7/8″ overall. The blade itself measures 7 3/8″. This Randall has a riveted sheath. Also I am told that the tie-down holes in the guard are also non-standard. The stone was replaced with a magnesium fire starter stone.

The blade is made of folded (damascus) steel.
