Off set curved Knobkerrie

[Tim Simmons]

I have wanted one of this type of knobkerrie at a sensible price for some time. This was sold with a rubbish picture but still went more than the 3-4 portions I usually only want to pay. The dynamics are so different to the straight and central knob-kerrie. I am so pleased with it I simply have to show off. The design is so subtle yet sophisticated and effective. Look at these beauties.

I was watching that one but was too busy to keep track of it. You stole that one I would have paid double for it but could not be sure from the crappy photo it just looked like another straight knobkerrie to me. Oh well I must keep up the search ;)

Congrats

Yes I saw that one but as stated it is circa 1960s so it could just be a tourist item with no real history unlike yours which dates from the late 19th or early 20th century. That is a lot of fish and chips for the winner to lay out for this item :rolleyes:
