I have some (somewhat faded) pictures of a cremation ceremony back in 1976 for you who haven't seen one. I can load them here if you wish to see them. They are from a good vantage point which most people who have been to one do not get. (You are normally packed into a crowd of a thousand or so.)

They are not specifically pictures of weapons so I hesitate to point them up without a request. There are about 10 pictures covering the start of the procession from the village to the firing of the material at the cremation point.

Let me know if you wish to see them.

This is the point during the ceremony that I have seen the knife used.
