    Wow, the tang is really thin where it meets the blade! I can see where someone might think that it was made very small, but that is obviously worn way down, and probably broken off at the tip by the looks of the in difference length of the blade and the length of the scales.

    Like they say though, a fool and his money are soon partying. ...err...wait a tick.

    It looks like a corn razor, and one that has served has a regiment.

    Er, I think it's 'anal'. And all good English teachers have them, be they teachers of English or English teachers. So there.

    Damn! If it hadn't previously served as an anal reamer, I thought I had finally found that elusive nose hair shaver!

    Well, some of us are anal about our reamers, and some are picky about our nose hair shavers, I guess.

    (The thing about the nose hair shavers was not meant to be snotty, you understand.)
