I'd also vote for Japanese fire hook. I recall seeing something like that in Serge Mol's Classical Weaponry of Japan: Special Weapons and Tactics of the Martial Arts.

They are Japanese fire tools used to pry open doors and knock holes in walls to get to the flames. I've seen them via fire apparatus auctions over the years (I was in EMS and collected such aeons ago)...

Yup, I like Japanese fires..........no..........wait...........what I mean is I agree with the Japanese fire attribution.
