How traditional is this?

Picked this up on Craigslist. Other than some dirt and grime and some surface rust the blades appear to have never been sharpened. Shes taking a bath in some mineral oil and will get a good cleaning in a day or two. Anybody have any idea when these were made.

Thanks for reading

I'm thinking made in Japan circa 1970s.

Wow, it's got everything. I like it. You're ready to ride in boxcars and see America with other hobos now.
