Very interesting Luc. Is this a hole in the item? What size is it? Can you post pictures that give more idea of the structure. Is this a curreny blade? or a heavier parade item? Are you going to clean it? Lots of ????? I really the serrated sections.

Hi Tim,
72cm, no hole.For the moment I like it like this, so I don't know for the cleaning...

Luc LEFEBVRE · 5th November 2010, 10:28 PM

I think this is a parade item.Like these models from the Zirngibl collection.

Hi Luc, except for the very nice decorations the throwing knife is very similar to a Lakka throwing knife. Possibly a distintive sign of the Ga_anda are the three lines along the stem that I noted only in Ga_anda knives. I enclose the decoration of one of my Ga_anda knife. Nice knife, compliment
