To myself!

It was on hold; when the hold disappeared, right on my birthday, I knew that 'it is written' that I was the new owner.

Talk about intense! It's the kind of thing that you can feel the vibration. This is definitely a pusaka.

Oh, and don't ask how old I turned; let's just say that if you know the Beatle's 'Sergeant Pepper' you already know.

Hi Montino , I can see them although it's a strange format to post pictures . Mostly we use the jpg format and upload them to the site .

Let me introduce you to your pusaka's brother ..

Here's jpegs... and I want to have details on the sheath, since I have to make one.

Congratulations! is the handle rhino horn?

Nice Karud!
Artzi mentioned several times on this Forum that the way rhino-horn was cut for this particular handle indicates Bukharan origin. Am I quoting him correctly?
The blade is wonderful: real wootz, intact, elegant.
A wet dream of a knife.....
