indian bichwa ? British blade ?

I agree with Wayne, and very much like this dagger, which while not technically 'bichwa', it is clearly a rendition so intended. Personally I have been fascinated with British India most of my life, and these kinds of hybridizations are in my view intriguing .

Even though not 'old', the traditions and confluences of both Indian and British cultures are well represented and mindful of the colorful history of the Raj.
