just added a kabutowari jitte/jutte to the japanese part of my collection, on it's way from japan. 
 
supposedly showa period, 1926–1989 - prbably latter part. 
 
roughly 25 in. LOA, 'blade/hook' about 14.5 in. in mounts and saya. 645grams in saya. metal fittings look untarnished - gold/gold plated?
