Dear all:
What does " ivory bone folder" mean in the following passage?
The porcelain inkpot, the reed pen, a reed knife, an ivory bone folder, a whetstone to sharpen the knife, the razor to cut the paper, a pincer to hold it so that it does not move, an ivory spoon to pour ink into water, when it has become too thick.
Thanks very much
