Well the one in this example will keep all those things clean, but your ears and nostrils might stretch a little.
Very nice mate I'm a great fan of this style of knife -I hope you give it plenty of use.No knife like this was ever made to be displayed or stored.
Nice looking knife mate .I've got one of those myself, but it still needs a good cleaning. Mine's an English knife dated 1941. To read about how I got it, click here.
