Exhibit no1A wonderful brass and steel hachoir in the form of an enticing female. But hush... say nothing... and look/learn/watch. This knife is thrumming subliminally in the confidence of its own combination of art and function.

It positively shouts 'touch me, kiss me, use me' or walk away and be sad. |
