This looks like a type of Native American Indian carving knife.

Some of my stuff:

Hello Hurthuma, may I get to see more of that gorgeous sword?

It looks real nice, I bet it has a european blade, and is likely fitted in Damascus.

How about those?

Its not clear on the second picture, but the blade has some sort of engarving. The dealer said it was Ottoman. It shows a cresent and a sun if I am not mistaken. The blade also has the "dimashqi" patterns on it.
Hope this helps, if you want anymore info or pictures taken, tell me

I had my eye on that one but shot my load on that kundrik sword last week. It's a very nice example. When you get it try using a bit of mineral oil on the horn so it does not get too dried out.

Your very welcome.

I was wondering what you were going to do with the blade once you got that silver junggayan kris.

panday · 3rd December 2006, 05:01 PM

1)kampilan (crock jaw is ivory, cross guard is whalebone).

2)24-25? waves horsehoof kris.

3)visayan bolo.

panday · 3rd December 2006, 05:05 PM

Bill M · 6th December 2006, 12:47 PM

Blade is 14" OAL 18" Ganja is not separate. Laminated blade.

Full sized kris for comparison.

Comments?

Bill M · 6th December 2006, 01:14 PM

I think this is a Kuba Ikula. Open to comments about age and authenticity.

14" overall.

Battara · 6th December 2006, 07:16 PM

I know that African is not my specialty, but Bill what you have is a nice puppy - the copper Kuba knives are scarcer and I believe are ceremonial to be used by nobility. I like it.

Robert · 6th December 2006, 07:24 PM

I'm the same, I know very little about these but I know what I like and I like this a lot!! Great blade.

Robert

Tim Simmons · 6th December 2006, 08:07 PM

Very nice Bill totally genuine perhaps 1930-40. This is my latest African find. Ball staff, diameter 4.5cm, shown next to a light knobkerrie.

Bill M · 7th December 2006, 12:08 AM

Thanks for the kind words on the Kuba gents. Hope that some of the African collectors will comment.

Anything about the little kris?

Bill M · 7th December 2006, 08:22 PM

Budiknon Shield and a few other Moro pieces. Early Christmas presents. Let's see this would be Christmas of 2006, 2007 and 2008 -- maybe 2009?

Lew · 7th December 2006, 08:35 PM

Bill

I have been having a problem with Santa

He keeps stuffing my stocking with sharp pointy swords but he forgets the scabbards. So when I wake up on X-MAS day I find the swords have cut through the bottom of the stockings and they are sticking into my nice wood floors

Can you email him and let him know of the problem since he must really like you because he brings you such nice toys

Daayum, all I get are socks and underoos. It does pay to be good. I see that shield was made for you. The letter "M" at the top of it. Can you post a photo of the Barung on the right, it seems to be in the shadows.

Daayum Kino, he is a bit shy, but I'll drag him out and stand him at attention in front o' me purple cloth.

In the grand tradition of Panday and his coat rack, 25 pounds of 19th c Moro armor.

Wish I had a 28 inch waist.

David · 11th December 2006, 01:46 AM

Well Bill....i have a 28" waist (well, OK, 29", but a deep inhale and a dap of cooking oil here and there...

)....and,well you know, it being Christmas time and all and, well, the spirit of giving and all that....

David · 11th December 2006, 01:48 AM

Actually, i'd be more interested in seeing a picture of you in the Vanson.
