Nepalese Kora sword
 

Hey Guys and Girls,

i want to share with you, a Nepalese Kora sword that i just received one week ago.
She is in really good state, edge is sharp, pattern welded one, with the scabbard and hilt in pretty good condition. Length is 48cm blade (close to 19 inch) and 60cm in total (24 inch). Age estimation, middle 19th.

Hope you will enjoy is beauty !

Have a good Sunday,

Julien

(can't post all the pics.... they are too heavy :shrug: )

How wonderful to find a pattern welded kora! Not many out there. Congratulations!

My thing these.

From the limited photos it looks like a high quality fighting kora. Lovely watered blade. Pity you can't show images of the scabbard as they are very rare to get.

Uploading image is not hard here just resize.

The blade is amazing but you have to show us photos of the whole sword and photos of the hilt!
:shrug:

Here we go !

Yeah - also want to see the hilt and scabbard as well. :)

I'm still in comments approval period ! Sorry for the time it take (don't worry moderator, i'm not criticizing you ;). And more than that, thanks for your job done here !)

If you guys want other pictures, say me.

:(

Show us some photos Kubur! And thanks for her
:D

A Beautiful Kora, a wrapped handle and a scabbard........WOW!!!

Wow, gorgeous and complete with scabbard. I had no idea Koras could be found with that kind of pattern welding!

I join you in that Cthulhu!!! I have seen many koras, but never with watered steel blade (I use that term as I never grasp the world of metallurgical tereminology!).

Is this the same one ?
