Tactical fixed.

Makiri (間 切 り) is a small Japanese knife for rough cutting of fish and poultry. Also sometimes used as a general-purpose knife in hunting, fishing and in the field.
The Makiri are more associated not with the Japanese, but with the Ainu, the predecessors of the proto-Korean settlers on the Japanese islands. Perhaps this is the only blade heritage of this, already relict, nationality! Ainu (literally - a person, a real person) is the ancient population of the Japanese islands. They once lived on the territory of Russia in the lower reaches of the Amur, on Kamchatka, Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands. Nowadays, only 30,000 remain throughout Japan, of which 25,000 live in Hokkaido.
Makiri are still popular on small fishing boats for the primary processing of fish (evisceration) on the way from fishing to market.

What an incredible collection. Simply beautiful. How long did this take to amass and how many edged weapons would you say you have? Apologies if you've answered these questions before in the thread, I haven't gone through all of it.
