I found an informative post on Korean silver a few years ago when I was researching it. Probably worth a share as information on these is so scarce.

Hi,
Thanks for posting your Eunjangdo. It's very nice and obviously a more upmarket version than mine with the gold highlights. Information on these is really scarce so the link you've provided is a really great addition.
On another note, connected but different, I came across some of my grandmothers bits and pieces recently and in amongst them was a large hatpin. I wondered if these long and very pointy hatpins were ever used in a similar fashion to Eunjangdo re self defence. I found the following links quite informative.
My Regards,
Norman.
