Peurawot for sharing and discussion

Hello Detlef,

Nice to see a new thread about this rare and attractive type of knife.

I would like to see pictures of the knife inside the scabbard.
The handle looks different from the other peurawot's
Maybe the handle has been replaced / restored somewhere in the past.

Best regards,
Willem

Hello Willem,

have hoped that you comment!

The pictures are from the seller and I don't have the knife in hand until now. Like you I am curious to see the knife inside it's scabbard and have thought about the handle. But the wood show a good patination and some elegance also when not fancy but have had similar thoughts that it could be a replacement. When I have it in hand I will post better and more pictures.

Best regards,
Detlef

I'd tend to believe this being a genuine example possibly from around the turn of the century given that it appears to show some wear from real use.

Workmanship of all parts looks decent despite its quality being not top notch. I've seen quite a bit of variability with these knifes and especially larger examples tend to be more rough. I'd assume these to belong to less affluent people and used more as a general utility tool.
