This is a small knife made from a Japanese nail found in the attic during the renovation of a temple. I believe the nail dates back to the beginning of the Meiji era. It is listed as a paper knife, but it can also be used to cut string or the plastic rings attached to clothing tags without any problems. This is a one-of-a-kind piece with a unique, rustic feel that makes the most of the original Japanese iron material. It comes with a genuine leather case. Total length: approximately 120mm #JapaneseNail #Rare #JapaneseIron #Antique
