I believe there were once two more and a matching salt shaker

with one spot of wear on the leather case

Old Carving Knife old wooden hammer while the pale blue undersideI grabbed this knife, for carving I believe, out of an artist's studio at a recent estate sale just because I loved the look of it, with this long steel blade and worn wooden handle. It could use a little sharpening I think, but surely useful for all sorts of things. In well loved condition, with some paint on the wood and rust on the blade. 5 7 8" long x 5 8" wide x 1 2" deep.
