Letter Opener?


Recommended Posts

Got this as a gift from a very kind book-seller.  Previous owner didn't know what it was, either.  I'm guessing a tourist souvenir or creative letter opener.   Nakago looks new'ish and squared  Really nice little shirasaya, so nicely done if a letter opener.

 

nagasa - 5 1/2"

full length - 8 1/2"

Thanks guys!  Piers, I just read through your Small Blade thread and see what you mean.  I've added this one for comment.

What a superb gift

Jon, yes, it was quite unexpected.  I'd say who it was, but don't want to set such a high bar for his future customers! Very kind thing to do!
