[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 4683, member: 59"]It does seem an odd shape for a bud vase, but there are 2 reasons why I don't think it's a "carving knife sheath." Now that we know how long an object would fit inside, it's not long enough IMHO to have the blade inside such that the handle grip would rest on the top edge. (Any longer and frankly the thing would topple over with the weight of the handle.) The other reason has to do with the metal-on-metal contact, thus dulling the blade.[/QUOTE]
