People trying to scam people 150 years ago smh
Can the mini knife also be used as a throw weapon?
My dads got some swords from the 1500s and some officers swords from ww2 they are cut in half though haha
That’s very cool but I wouldn’t say it’s small probably average if not a little bit bigger than average
What kind of clay is used in a differential hardening
Above average, next question.
That’s awfully horrifying for something that’s known to be a friend of samurais
Only 150? It's like 19 century? It's so new
did people ever use the mini knife to prepare dinner? An interesting parallel with the European scabbards that include a mini fork and table knife
It looks exactly like europen antiamour daggers

Because the idea was the same: a dagger to thrust even through armor (and mock your enemy because you killed hid general, lol)
