                I think there might be a language barrier between you and your landlord. I’m pretty sure you’re speaking “third estate”, while he only knows first or second. Go clarify that language issue with him, and ask if he would prefer Guillotinaros instead.

            The full size are, indeed, difficult to come by. But, there are some more portable versions that are more widely available. Some are small enough to fit in a pocket.

              Sounds like a cigar cutter. Small, but popular with billionaires and MAGA cultists for cutting away their tiny intellects and any and all “concern for one’s fellow man” growths.

                How is a late 18th century French Revolutionary supposed to decapitate a nobleman with a cigar cutter?!?

                No, he’s going to go to his kitchen or barn or woodpile and find a more portable device with which to support the revolution.
