Chamorro knife from Guam with scabbard
6 Attachment(s)
Sharing this Chamorro knife from Guam for comment/future reference. I’ve owned a few of these over the years. I’ve included a photo of one I sold a few months ago. I’ve never owned an example with the sheath still present. I imagine this is c. WW2 era. Typical kukri-shaped, very wide blade profile with wood hilt and brass fittings. Full tang construction. There aren’t any maker’s marks on the blade. It’s a nicely made leather sheath with some resemblance to other Spanish colonial sheaths from Philippines and Mexico.
Dimensions: OAL 41cm Blade length 28cm |

Hello WW,
Very nice and interesting knife! :cool: Just a guess, not many people here heard about a Chamorro knife before. Here about the Chamorro: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chamorro_people And here an old thread: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=15161 And two other fairly old Chamorro knives I found online. Regards, Detlef |
