Name of tow Batak Knives
Hello,
I recently acquired these two Batak knives which I don't know either the name or the function. The first has a handle similar to some Lopah Petawaran seen on the internet but the blade is much simpler. The second one has a blade very close to the Lopah Petawaran but the handle and the sheath don't look like what I saw elsewhere. Both knives were collected by the same person before 1941. How would you name these knives? First knife : Blade length : 16cm Handle in Saro (Capricornis sumatraensis) horn with silver No scabbard. Second knife : Blade length : 23,6cm Handle in buffalo horn and brass. Scabbard in wood, deer horn, bone and silver. Last edited by Athanase; 11th December 2017 at 07:48 AM. |
