Ren Ren is correct, see also here: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...=scribe+knives
Attached a pic of my ones. BTW, the one in question is the nicest one I've seen so far! |

Hey thanks for all your thoughts, to Ian i did think of an opium knife but it was a bit flash for a field knife, I went through so many languages even sanskrit but never Tamil so thank you Ren Ren i am now fully clued up on this particular knife.I did think it was for something a bit special as it is ivory and very well made. It has been very interesting.
Thanks again and love the site. All the best Shane |

I have a question about the examples you showed, Detlef. The two knives with wood handles have finials at their ends; what would be their use be?

Sorry, I don't have a clue! And I don't have them by hand, I've stored them somewhere. Regards, Detlef |
