A couple interesting knives
Sharing these two recent acquisitions. I haven’t seen anything quite like either so I’m hoping a forum member can help. I don’t believe they are especially rare or desirable but they’re both well made with nice leather sheaths.
Top: I thought this was puukko adjacent. Utilitarian wood hilt with dog-leg at end. Chisel ground blade marked “IND”. Leather sheath with loop. Blade 11 cm, OAL 26 cm Bottom: Central Asia? Hilt comprised of multicolored clear plastic discs. Brass guard and fittings. Extensive ornamentation - floral patterns, rhinestones etc. Tubular leather scabbard like a puukko, with a retention strap. Embossed pattern. I suspect this is a tourist piece but it’s well made and functional. Blade 13 cm, OAL 23 cm Coincidentally, these have remarkably similar sheaths. |
