Measuring 9" long x 1" wide, this well-used Japanese paper knife is just the sort of trinket I have always found fascinating; although obviously fashioned to sell for a modest price, it still bears the marks of masterful design, and charming detail. There is some small bit of corrosion on the blade, and some bit of clear lacquer, which could probably be cleaned. I leave this for the buyer, since I have a terrible record for "improving" anything - always make it worse.
