Huge navaja
It was the biggest navaja I had seen before Artzi posted in his site a real monster! Still is very big. Open is 49 cm! A small sword.
Hilt has four thick panels of polished bone with faded scrimshaw (?). One side is floral and other side has two men. Blade is very clean with etched flora one side and a man on the other side. There is a long and thin chip in one of the bone panels (clearly in the photos). When blade is open it is very difficult to close it again, so I use another blade or screwdriver to do it. Someone with proper tools may fix it. A real and rare antique. Price $480 with free registered shipping. |
