[carlos]

HELLO!!
THIS PICTURE IS FROM THE FAIR OF AMELIE ( FRANCE) 2006, WE CAN SEE ON DAGGER WITH A KERIS BLADE AND A HORN HANDLE. I HAVE SEEN SIMILAR LIKE THIS FROM AFRICA, BUT ANOTHER TIMES I HAVE SEEN ANOTHERSFROM PHILIPPINES.
WHAT IS THE ORIGIN OF THIS DAGGER?

AN INTERESTING DAGGER, THE HANDLE LOOKS LIKE AN AFRICAN ANTELOPE HORN THE HORNS I HAVE SEEN ON MOST INDIAN WEAPONS WERE BLACKBUCK HORNS. THE BLACKBUCK HORN SPIRALS SORT OF LIKE A KUDU HORN MOST OTHER ANTELOPES HAVE CURVED HORNS. THE BLADE DOSEN'T LOOK LIKE THE ONES USUALLY SEEN ON THE HORN HANDLED DAGGERS FROM AFRICA THEY HAVE FLAT BLADES OFTEN WITH ARABIC WRITEINGS. IT DOSEN'T LOOK LIKE A TRADITIONAL INDONESIAN OR MALAY KERIS BLADE EITHER. THE OTHER EXAMPLES OF THESE HORN HANDLED DAGGERS NEVER HAD A GAURD THIS ONE LOOKS LIKE IT WAS MADE FROM A KITCHEN TRIVIT :D PROBABLY A ONE OF A KIND KNIFE , I CAN'T TELL IF THERE WAS PARMOR ON THE BLADE BUT IT DOES APPEAR TO HAVE A THICK CENTER RIDGE SO PERHAPS A DIAMOND SHAPED CROSS SECTION. A INTERESTING LITTLE TABLE OF GOODIES THANKS FOR SHAREING.

I do not know about that knife but there is a nice looking Rencong on the table as well

And don't forget the fine Songye axe at the back. That's a piece worth collecting. I think it even has its handle covered with copper. Nice !
