Indian? Looks Arabian
The knives in these links from the Met Mesuem;
http://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/31631 http://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/31635 They call them Indian or Nepalese...other than a loose form of Kukri blade, I cannot see this as an origin. As these came from Stone, "Bequest of George C. Stone, 1935", did Stone have notes pointing to these actually being sourced from India or Nepal as well? http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=12004 Steve makes some good points in post 3 http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/search...earchid=622385 A list of Shafra threads from the search engine.
