This Ainu dagger just finished by ebay and I think that it is worth to be kept for our archive because this daggers are very rare. For the members which don't know the Ainu here some stuff to read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ainu_people

I WOULD ESTIMATE THIS DAGGER WAS COLLECTED WW2 OR AFTER LIKELY WHEN WE HAD TROOPS THERE POST WW2. I HAD ONE THAT BELONGED TO GENERAL EISENHOWER'S PHYSICIAN I GOT AT HIS ESTATE AUCTION YEARS AGO. THERE WERE PICTURES OF IT ON THE FORUM BUT I DID NOT FIND THEM.THIS EXAMPLE IS CONSTRUCTED CORRECTLY AND OF THE PROPER SIZE AND HAS THE OPEN SLIT THAT IS A TRADITIONAL AINU DESIGN. I POSTED MY DAGGER ON THE FORUM AND GOT A IDENTIFICATION AND RECEIVED A INQUIRY AND OFFER AND SOLD IT TO A TEACHER WHO COLLECTED THEM BUT UNFORTUNATELY HE NEVER SHARED HIS COLLECTION AND INFORMATION ON THE FORUM.
