My step dad heads back to Japan next week for a final eight weeks to complete a two year plus management consulting gig. He asked if there was anything I wanted from Japan, for Christmas. I was stationed at Yokota from Dec. '98 to May '00, but lost all my keepsakes and memorabilia from my time there, including a nice folded steel Tanto that cost me about $200 back in those days. Quite a big chuck of change for an E-2/ E-3.
He's been looking for a type 30 bayonet for my (his dads, actually) Arisaka Type 38, but has had no luck. Anyone know of a quality knife maker in and around the Tokyo area, give or take 50 miles I can direct him to for a quality Tanto?
I picked my old one up in Shinjuku, but I don't think he will be getting out that way unless he makes a special trip, and I don't remember the name of the shop where I got it in the first place.
