Indo-persian/Indian Knife

Hi guys,

This little knife finished on eBay recently, I was outbid. Did anyone here win it? I am curious to know if anyone has seen anything like it. It was listed as Indian.

Cheers - Russel

They usually have ivory hilts, there a long thread on here somewhere about them....

They could be Assam, Burma {Which I always favoured.} or North African. :shrug:

The scabbard with yours looks more Algerian or some such to my eye.

Blade looks reshaped perhaps to fit that scabbard?

Thanks Spiral, and sorry for the delay in responding.

I can certainly see the similarities in bolster design and tang arrangement. The blade shape and truncated point seem to indicate a simple utility knife.

Thanks again,
Russel
