My first Corvo
Went to a local arms and militaria fair yesterday, and came back with a few purchases, a couple of them items I had really been hoping to find. First up, a Chilean Corvo. Typical enough that I don't really have anything to say about it much. Single edge on the inside of the curve, chisel ground false edge at back, and a stacked grip of horn and brass.

A very nice one, congrats!
 Here is a group picture of my Chilean knives for comparison.

Nice selection. We don't get many stacked grips here in the Isle of the Mighty, and it's only since I joined here that I learned owt about them.

These Chilean knives are somewhat rare and since they are discussed at this place several times the prices for them rise!
   You can be lucky that you got it and this may be rather cheap!

It cost less than a current US bayonet.

Mine: I actually prefer the smaller offset one, it lives on the table next to my bed. The other, the back edge is too square and hurts my hand.
