Oh yeah, that's the weapon one of the tournament bosses in Budokan
(funky martial arts game from the early 90's) wields... lessee, what's
its name.

These talk about the suruchin/surushin. Can't seem to find any pictures,
but this baddy doesn't sound like it has a blade. Incidentally the pages
are an interesting read on Okinawan (i.e: derived from farming tools)
weaponry... makes me want to go out and use a seemingly innocuous item
(teapot) to kill people.
