I found this Nata at the flea market this morning for $5.00.

The blade is about 8.5" long. Looks like it took some damage to the tip and it was re-shaped. A few licks on a stone got it shaving sharp.

It's got some Japanese characters stamped on the blade with a 21 (size?) on the reverse. For all I know it could say "Eat at Joe's".

The sheath is wood wrapped in what looks like bark with a leather frog. The is a brass lined drain hole on the bottom.

Tourist piece or something worth a shit?

Thinking that's a good score for five bucks myself

What the hell is that used for? Harvesting something?

It's used as a hatchet or very stout machete.

Pruning tree limbs, kindling, bushes, American soldiers buried in the sand up to their necks, etc.
