This knife from Sri Lanka found ist way into my collection today. It is very decorative with silver and brass ornaments. The sheath is made from leather. Comments are invited.
Thanks corrado26 |

Hi, I am no expert, so no new information here, but it is a very beautiful piece. It looks like it has decent age, but it is still in great condition. Almost all the old ones have some damage or heavy wear. Congratulations.

This piece is so beautiful and intricate, that it has prompted me to wonder how many hours of labor go into making such a work of art. Even with modern tools, this would be no small feat.
Has anyone ever calculated such a thing? |

Hello Udo,
Very nicely crafted and complete example - congrats! What kind of gem(?) is set at the pommel end? Quote:

Yes Kai, the sheath looks wooden to my eyes as well. ![]() |
