Thanks for all the info. I am learning a lot about the blade and its parts. I live in rural Missouri, closest large city is KC. Haven't tried to find anyone there yet to show it to. Did try in Wichita KS which is where the blade "lived" until we found it among mom's things. But at that time I wasn't even sure what it was.

it is a wood base covered with same' of the tanned skin of a giant ray, they use the shin from the belly. Japan is an island so they have an abundance of marine life so use ray skin sort of like we use leather as we have cattle
