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 ? |

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 |
