Thanks Vandoo for sharing your examples. I really like them.
It is just as Nathaniel said. It is absolutely well carved and your temple knife is done with real ivory and horn.

While the koshirae may be "tourista" the yari blade is definitely not. Occasionally some good blades are found in these type mounts.
