Japanese Finger-Mounted Harvesting Blade

A small but handy stainless steel blade formed from a single piece of metal, the other end of which is curled into a finger ring, for use as a harvesting knife. Made by Asano Mokkousho of Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture, central Japan. Usually used on the forefinger and like a pruning knife against the pad of the thumb, this is designed for use picking small and soft fruits, especially amidst dense growth or foliage where use of scissors or knives might prove awkward, or even damaging to plant and crop. The blade is about 3cm long.
