[Woodcarver] Burley knife

[Raparee]

Thanks for all the info folks.
It's a carving knife with a blade about 3.5cm long, narrow and
tapering to a blunt tip.  The blade is set into a pretty unusual
handle which was probably carved to suit the carver.  I wish I had a
digital camera so I could post a photo of the knife.
I don't think the knife is tobacco related ... my family is in New
Brunswick which is better suited to growing fiddleheads than tobacco.

Thanks for the tips!
Tim.
