Thanks for the information! I knew that these were leppa de chintu, I guess I forgot to say that in the post. I've always liked the idea of a multipurpose sword that can be used for everything from ending a fight to picking mud from your boots or cutting branches from a tree. They seem like the perfect length for carrying while not getting in your way during the day. I imagine that I will probably never get to see an actual vintage/antique leppa de chintu in the U.S., but a guy can dream.
