Hey, New guy here with a question for Joe Houser.

[outcast]

There was a Bayonet made by Buck Knives that was sent to Japan. I believe that there was a little more than 500 of these made with the model number of 0188-J2-0 that had a Modified Latchplate and Quillon. Does anybody have a picture of one of these or even know what color the blade and handle was?


Thanks,
Outcast.

You guys with all your anti-Asian posts probably drove away all the inscrutable orientals who *know* about these bayonets... :grumpy:

Somewhere there is a knife shop owner in Koza or Naha with a bushel basket full of Japanese Buck bayonets...

Just a tad late on this reply but welcome to the forums outcast!
I actually do not have any pictures of the Jananese bayonet. Dont even have one in the Buck archives to take a picture of.
There were a few bayonet projects that fall into this category...no picture, no sample. Makes it hard to describe the knife to someone.
