Hey, Mike. What's a 'tobikuchi' ? I've been into Martial Arts since I was 16 (a long, long, long...time ago

), but I've never heard of a weapon like this one.
What was it used for ?
And yes, I have a good friend in Amsterdam who recently 'plundered' a small etnographic shop which was closing down after the death of its owner. I also got some nice axes from the same region.
