How to make a bamboo pear picker - GIF

[ranald]

I've collect a few cane knives over the years; all slightly different & better at one job than another. That looks like one very sharp knife & Japanese. In post war period if something was made in Japan, it was considered junk & any junk must have been made in japan: all the good stuff they kept for themselves=LOL.
I have only done limited work with bambusa species and can appreciate that persons skill & sharpness/appropriateness of the tools employed.
