Hello,
Thank you both for you message
and Congratulations GonzoAdler for your exquisite model !!!!
For the ''simple'' examples,
in opposition with rich embellishment models,
I wonder if it's more a question about period of fabrication/''fashion''
or only the price the owner was ok to pay for it.
Strange for me too:
They were often used as betel knife and sometimes as work tools
how could these models be made with precious materials and so sophisticated if destinated for an ''everyday ''use
