Good things come in pairs.
I have been looking for a peurawot for years and then I found two in 2013. I know that Gavin has one, too (could you please post yours here?). Anyone else who feel to contribute so we can have some more here for reference? Michael |

That's a great one Michael. Congratulations. I was too late on this one... Great that you've got it!

What is the handle material on the second one ?
It looks almost like akar bahar . |

Thanks Maurice.
Rick, I am waiting for a "material expert" collector friend to come over and help me make up my mind about what it is. Michael |

Beautiful pieces Michael. First ones I've seen. I really like the scabbard carving.
I am assuming that these are utility knives? |

So that is where it went :-)
I also saw this "sold" item in Awe. I missed out on 2 of them in 2013. This here below is the other one that I noticed but could not buy. ![]() |

I don't see anybody calling the hilt material suspicious. I am not anyway. Best regards, Willem |

Hello Michael,
Congrats, nice examples! I'm glad you snapped that up when most of us were busy with Christmas... ![]() Your first one looks more like a rough specimen. I have a similar one of large proportions - what is the blade length of yours? The second has the text-book (and status) hilt: curved away from the edge, with carved tampo design (pommel), and an - especially nice - sampa (ferrule) from suasa. I really like the variant scabbard carving! Please post some more close-ups of these features - thanks a lot! The blade is much shorter than the hilt: Any hints that the blade tip got reprofiled?

With the deeply appreciated and hopefully ongoing help of some very kind friends I managed to assemble a small peurawot collection. Will try to take pics when weather and time permits. Regards, Kai |
