Very nice and similar in the core parts to that I posted in your other thread. The additional wrappings on your family's example surely show evidence of a well cherished blade.

With your family connections, could you inform me of how these were carried and used in the times after WWII? Were they seen primarily as a weapon or were these routinely used and carried tools for everyday tasks (such as machetes are in tropical Latin America)?
