Well, not quite. I was at the car boot rummaging though the boxes of one of those sellers who has loads of diffferent things in boxes. I found some items it wanted, and got them priced. "and what about the paperknife?" I managed to conceal my grin. "oh, you can have that" and as you can imagine I was grinning like the cheshire cat who inherited the dairy all the way home. So I am now a proud owner of a new shiv. Its NOT a paperknife; its a real kozuka (a little knife that goes with the sword; think of it as the samaurais penknife) with a nice hilt, signed and all. Ill post pics when my hands stop shaking

So it isn't a Swiss army penknife but a Samurai army penknife then.

Sweeeeeeeeeeet. Definitely post pictures!

I also would like to see a picture of it myself.

WAAAHHH!!! Why can't I be that lucky! Way to go! Have you thought of getting it appraised or dated?

Here we are. I have got in contact with the To Ken society to try to get it appraised.

it seems that my picture is too big for the file. can anyone trim it down for me? Im not used to photo manipulation?
