What kind of knife is this?

Whups - didn't read the dimensions of it in your original post. Yeah, that's quite small, actually. I was imagining it being used for Tuna, you're right.

I'd say go for it - even the blank might be worth that. That could even be used as a blank to create a design chopper for you.

However, could it be an old microtome or something?

From the shape, it looks like a head shaver the Buddhist monks used.

Hang on, will find a link...

The overall shape is different - especially the handle - but the business end is a bit similar.

Hmmm.... How would that shave...

Ah, I actually was looking at that one last night and wondered why it was listed as a razor

I'm sure he would love it.

With that blade length, it is long enough to cut it and make a hefty razor out of it.

At the size you mention, I'd pick it as an old microtome.

If you post that question HERE
I am sure many people will be very excited

Just buy the sodden thing first if you are planning it, otherwise the price might skyrocket

All I heard was "Sharp. Japanese. 11 Bucks."
What was the question, again?
