Oh, I can see it clearer now ( always good to know that something is NOT what you thought

). The one on the left is a Pedang I ( Peudeung for the purists

) from Sumatran Battaks.

Flavio that Billao is just great with a most unusual scabbard. Could you post a closer picture,

Best Regards

I think you guys have your priorities skewed.

My "Bed of Dreams" has this on it:

Hey Andrew

That is not a picture of an ethnographic weapon or related item so you must delete it

On the contrary, my friend. Padma is Indian, and certainly qualifies as an "ethnographic object" worthy of intense study.

"But she kills with her eyes"

So she can be construed as a weapon... just sayin'.

Not only is she drop dead georgeous she co-hosts a reality Top Chef show and routinely eats 12-20 helpings of "viddles" and still looks the way she does. Now that is my kind of gal!

Hello Flavio,
Thanks for sharing your collection!
I can only aspire to acquire the knowledge neccessary to acquire such a diverse collection. Any chance of some closeups of your kukri? Heres what is probably the best piece I have, from a collectors viewpoint.

Best wishes

Dan

Dan / Scaratch,

Nice khuk. I think that you would see some nice patterns if you decided to put some vinegar on it.

Flavio,

Do you have any more detailed pictures of this piece? I have one much like it with a kris blade.
