When it comes to the command knives worn by Japanese officers, it should be clear to everyone that in many War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, as long as they wear the army, they are basically officers, but ordinary soldiers and some low-ranking officers don't. So what kind of rank in Japan can have a command knife?

1, which Japanese officers can use sabers?

The ranks of the old Japanese army were divided into six grades. 16.

Sixth grade: general officers, assistant officers, junior officers, quasi-noncommissioned officers, junior noncommissioned officers and soldiers;

16: General, Lieutenant General, Major General, Major General, Lieutenant General, Lieutenant General, Lieutenant General, Lieutenant General, Lieutenant General, Lieutenant General, Warrant Officer, Cao Chang, Sergeant, Staff Sergeant, Grade I and II.

In other words, as long as the old rank of the Japanese army reaches the rank of corporal or above, it can use the saber equipped by the army.

2. Why do Japanese officers need sabers?

During the Meiji Restoration in Japan, because the army was developed under the guidance of France, Germany and other western countries, officers from France, Germany and other countries were equipped with swords. So in 1886, Japan also equipped officers and non-commissioned officers with sabers.

Because it was the year of SHEN WOO, 25 19, the saber equipped that year was called "September 19th Western Knife".

Japanese army knives are mainly divided into officer's army knives and sergeant's army knives. Both generals and junior officers are basically equipped with the above-mentioned sabers, and there is almost no obvious difference.

The sabers used by non-commissioned officers are basically the ninth five-year plan sabers.

But the knife line is the main form to distinguish ranks at all levels. The so-called "knife line" refers to the same thing as the sword stab.

Saber thread: the outer side of the belt part is brown, the inner side is red, there are gold embroidery patterns inside, and the tassels are gold silk.

Thread of auxiliary officer's knife: the color inside and outside the belt is the same as that of the general officer, but there is no gold decoration inside. Fringed spun silk is brown and mixed with red.

Threads of junior officers: the outer side of the belt is also brown, but the inner side is cyan, without gold thread decoration. Fringed spun silk is also brown with cyan.

Sergeant's knife line: woven with cowhide rope, or with cowhide belt, with tassels slightly engraved at the end.
