Lovely exotic knife! With some sort of psychological test included; just like the Batman logo where I see a mouth missing teeth, in this case there is a face in the "negative".
Kind regards, Eric. |

Thanks Detlef and Erik. Yes there is certainly some resemblance to a rattan knife as used in Mainland SE Asia. I think kino's example is a variant of thjat style of knife.
My main thought was that this odd knife is another pu erh knife used for cutting and splitting a pu erh tea cake. The blade to cut the cake and the spike to pry off the desired amount of tea leaves from the compacted mass. You may recall I had another "what'sit" a few months ago that turned out to be a pu erh knife. BTW, I did not win this knife at auction. |
