Man of honor! Ken Watanabe leads the Japanese defense in "Letters from Iwo Jima" LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA This 20" Japanese Arisaka Bayonet was acually used in the making of the award winning movie. It is made of hardened rubber. The blade is painted with a metallic finish and has a faux wooden handle. To my knowledge, t has never been one like this on Ebay.
