My regrets for ever posting this item. I had hoped it would be discussed objectively without 'sensitivities' and editorial.
I think at this point I would gladly accept the 'option' suggested in that this item MUST be a LEATHER WORKING TOOL.

Certainly leather is a much more humanely obtained material, as used rather commonly as we know in the production of many products. It seems this has been the case for a number of years. Apart from the tools to work the leather from hides, there are many tools used in butchering meat, even beyond knives used in hunting, another topic which has remarkable similarity to this.

As agreed, the sensitivities toward discussion of weapons used in warfare seem to be quite acceptable in spite of obvious dynamics.
Only ignorance would support the notion that there is fairness or humanity in war, there is only survival. We study the arms historically and objectively, ASIDE from the reality of purpose.
