A couple interesting knives
6 Attachment(s)
Sharing these two recent acquisitions. I haven’t seen anything quite like either so I’m hoping a forum member can help. I don’t believe they are especially rare or desirable but they’re both well made with nice leather sheaths.
Top: I thought this was puukko adjacent. Utilitarian wood hilt with dog-leg at end. Chisel ground blade marked “IND”. Leather sheath with loop. Blade 11 cm, OAL 26 cm Bottom: Central Asia? Hilt comprised of multicolored clear plastic discs. Brass guard and fittings. Extensive ornamentation - floral patterns, rhinestones etc. Tubular leather scabbard like a puukko, with a retention strap. Embossed pattern. I suspect this is a tourist piece but it’s well made and functional. Blade 13 cm, OAL 23 cm Coincidentally, these have remarkably similar sheaths. |
The top one marked IND is familiar, but I just can't quite place it. Is it's choil sharpened with a chisel edge as well as its blade?

The IND one is Bali or close by.

The blade of the one I ID as Bali is typical of most Balinese work knives --- I'm assuming it is chisel grind, if it is not, then I'm wrong.
The hilt is not typical of Bali, but I have seen a couple of Bali knives years ago with a similar hilt. Usually Bali hilts will have a central ridge along the underside. The leatherwork is very typical of Bali. |

Almost all (even when the shape is not typical from there ) are originally from Tjekeroeh |
