In the old forum I had posted pictures (below) of an odd knife in a brass scabbard decorated with oriental designs. We never did figure out what it was: http://www.vikingsword.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/001527.html
A recently completed auction on eBay showed a knife of somewhat similar shape. It indicates a maker from Paris and was described as a "tobacco knife" -- presumably for the harvesting of tobacco or slicing quid. Here is the auction link with pictures: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=6174847959 Here are pictures of my mystery knife from the previous thread. Unknown Oriental Knife ![]() ![]() |
