Ankus
For some reason - perhaps I just think they are cute - I've been picking up the occasional ankus here and there. Some are modern, but still cute IMO.

Here are three more! The first two escaped my last photography session (I must get a better camera!); the 3rd is new.
The first one was my favourite. It might be replaced by the new one (the 3rd one). The 3rd one is supposedly a WW2 CBI bringback. The middle one is, of course, modern. I haven't seen any old ankus with an axe blade like this (have you?). |

A bells-in-handle ankus is on my list to get. Also a long-hafted one. Eventually, and as budget permits.
I like the simple ones. I think learning to make one would be a nice introduction to blacksmithing. |

Also, just received, a small ankus. 504g. Shown next to the ringed ankus in the last batch for comparison. (The ringed one is a little above average for this kind, I think. 908g.) |
