Very thoughtful of your wife. It should get a central place in your collection.
When my wife enters my room she is looking at the walls with a face like, anything new i didn't know?? And then the remark, "don't you have to sell some of that stuff???" I always reply, "no dear, it is so beautiful, don't you think so?"
I don't think this is tourist stuff. The blade looks very good what i can see on the pics. Thick an sturdy. Not a cheap tourist blade. The whole peace looks good. I like it. But i'm not an expert in this field either.
