I have seen a few sold here and there online, but I've never purchased one. Anyhow, they seem unique, obviously traditional in nature, and are or course knives. If ya got one, please share your pics :-)
 
I wish I had one of the knives that JD Ware makes from Mexican silver coins. They are beautiful examples of the traditional pattern.
 
Used to have one, a coin knife, that is. Might be squirreled away somewheres. But, also might have diappeared over the decades. Found it to be fun for the curiosity sake of it, but wasn't of any useful nature.
 
Kind'a related to this subject, are the knife shaped currency that China has used in the past. I don't own any of those either, but they seem pretty nifty. I have little knowledge of them overall, but pics I've seen online, seem to show them as not only nifty in appearance (and probably cool as collectibles), but also seem large enough to be decent letter openers. Any info and pics you guys can share on either of these "knife gizmos", will be much appreciated :)
Btw, it seems so odd to think the Chinese would have walked around carrying such large "currency" knife shaped objects... I mean, I thought the old Eisenhower Dollars were big, sheesh! But, just like America's old silver dollar sized coins, these Chinese knife shaped coins seem cool! :)

As for a JD Ware coin knife... they seem extremely nice.
I'm sure their price matches that ;)
