[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 1226738, member: 360"]Whoopee!! After much, much, muchly patience, of the waiting kind, I finally got me a trousse! :P Sadly, the trousse came without its original pair of chopsticks - only the knife was in residence, at time of purchase. However - the slot for the chopsticks perfectly fitted my set of silver traveling chopsticks!! As you can see from the photos, they fit down the full length of the slot, with enough of the sticks still...uh...sticking...out the top, to enable easy removal, for eating! So I arranged a ceremony, and they were duly married... [ATTACH=full]215222[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]215223[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]215224[/ATTACH] Apart from a slight glue-job, and cleaning and sharpening the knife, it's all in perfect condition! I have just ONE question. At the back of the trousse, there is a ring. And at the bottom, a sort of rectangular, brass bracket. What's is they's for?? Presumably, a cord or strap of some kind, was passed through these, for attachment - presumably to someone's clothing. But I can't figure out how this went together.[/QUOTE]
