Many people, both domestically and internationally, purchase it as an item to "cut open your luck" and as a gift. According to the swordsmith, "It cuts paper, but it doesn't cut important connections with people." For celebrations, weddings and funerals, life events, and important turning points in life. This item was once available at the Osafune Sword Museum shop, but there are now few other stores where you can purchase it. Please note that the price has been revised a few years ago due to rising raw material costs. 〈Story〉 Mr. Kawashima, the swordsmith, has spent over 30 years facing Japanese swords in Bizen Osafune, receiving various awards. In modern times, when few people invite a Japanese sword into their homes as a protective sword, he began making paper knives to bring a talisman (protective sword) closer as a spiritual pillar. Professionally, at the beginning of 2025, he was commissioned by the city of Setouchi to exhibit his Japanese swords and introduce Japanese culture in Paris. Japanese traditional culture is highly regarded in Europe. He wanted to cherish the skillful traditional techniques and the inheritance of truly good things, which led to the introduction to everyone. Please pick up this item to experience the finesse of delicate handwork, the weight of the steel, and the supple feel. 〈Delivery Specifications〉 The swordsmith's name will be engraved on the back of the paper knife's handle, as shown in photos 2 and 4.
