A Corvo that I have, for comparison.

Ian and Mel,
What are the lengths of the straight parts of the blades of your convos?

Here my new acquired corvo, it's 9 1/4" long overall with a blade from 4 3/4".

Hello Mel,

can you please add a picture where you can see the complete knife?

Thank you,
Detlef

Ariel and Sajen, The only other photo that I have at the moment is too large to upload. I'll sort it out this week and take another photo at a lower resolution and take some measurements.

Ariel:

Neither of the knives I show is mine. The length of the spine on the refashioned example is just under 3 inches, as shown by the accompanying ruler used as a scale. Corvo range in size considerably. I have examples with blades as short as 3.75 inches and as long as 8.25 inches. In my experience these are definitely knives and not short swords.

Sajen:

Nice example of an older version. Perhaps late 19th C but probably early 20th C.
