This is a traditional Thai bird's beak knife, perfect for creating delicate petals and other details. Handle with care. If the blade becomes dull, sharpen it with a whetstone or sandpaper to restore its sharpness. I purchased this a few years ago and used it twice for soap carving, then stored it at home. This is a knife for beginners. A handling instruction sheet for the knife is also included. #Chidona'sMercari Type...Item
