From the pics it seems that the inner (concave) bevel is the primary edge; this would make this blade a kind of variant since classic siraui blades have their primary edge on the outer curve (convex side).

Hello Kai,

thank you! The blade has only one edge at the convex side, chiseled ground side.

Hello Detlef,

Thanks for the correction - I glossed over the back of the blade partially shown in your scabbard pic. Typical siraui, I agree!
