Another siraui
Nice pieces Charles, and they show nice age!
This is a siraui I bought for trading/swapping a while ago, but my daughter was pretty upset when I wanted to sell it, so I gave it to her as her first collectorspiece. At the moment this one is standing in our livingroom on a tiny little socket. :-) Total length is 6,5 inches ( 16,5 cm's), and not half so big as your tiniest one. Rg, Maurice |

Thanks guys! I was very aware of the siraui, but was just not 100% sure these two fit the form, primarily because of the scabbard and hilt styles.
Thanks again! |

Are these used edge-up in combat?

Hello Tom,
can't answer your question but I think that there are two types of this knife. The longer ones like Charles examples may be used as dagger and the one like Maurice ones or mine are maybe used as utility knifes but this is only my guess by the shape of the blades.  Regards, Detlef |
