Maybe this doesn't exactly fit what you're looking for in this thread but interesting nontheless...

My dad was the Commander of his local VFW Post. A member, Vietnam Vet gave this to my dad. A knife he said he took from a Viet Cong that he killed in a firefight.

The sheath is made from bamboo and is held together by metal bands

The metal wire runnning down the side if the sheath was used to attach the knife to his clothing

The blade is 10.5" and overall length of 22"

That is a great piece of silent history that we should not forget. Improvised theater-made weapons like this on you have here always show a degree of ingenuity that is often, sadly, looked down upon. That blade probably saw more 'action' than we will ever know.

I wonder how many collectors of Arisaka Type 99 rifles would forget their own names to be able to have just one of those. The top one is definitely an early or even pre WW-II blade. Together, that's a very desireable combo !
