    Measures just over 8 1/2 inches long and weighs 2.2 ounces. Marked 800 on the back with an interesting Asian symbol on the handle. Whatcha thunk abou' it?

    I think the symbol means 'Parking garage under my apartment' if I am reading the symbol correctly.

    Or it might be the logo of the hotel it was stolen from.

    Looks Korean to me, probably originally had a matching pair of chopsticks...
