can anyone help identifying these knives ?
 

I recently purchased these two knives from different dealers. They were both identified as : kard - kerala daggers.

I've been searching the internet and the forum for similar pieces using the words : kard, pesh kabz, etc... I've seen all kinds of knives, but none with similar blades.

Perhaps another forumite can push me in the right direction ? :o :shrug:

These knives have a total length of 32 and 29 cm. The sheaths are new. One bone handle has also been renewed

The blades are single-edged and have a very strong T-shaped back.

Here are some pics

Knife from Kerala (South West coast of India).

Thanks, that was quick. :)

Does this type of knife have a particular name ?

Unfortunately I do not know the name.

Thanks for the link.

Yes, it's the same shape. But the one from oriental arms seems to be of a much higher quality then mine. Nevertheless, I like them. :D
