I like it….

I suspect the key to this might be the handle pins. I feel like I have seen similar screw fittings on some bayonets.

I agree with your description, but how can we tell it’s factory made? Have you encountered similar knives or a catalog?

Btw, thanks for the feedback.

Unusual Balkan knife/yataghan

This looks to be a fairly modern item. The handles are aluminum and wood. The blade is marked "Consiple Extra". Does anyone know what that means?

I would appreciate any information on this...

I am having a hard time getting past the fit and finish of the handle. I would expect the wooden handle to have proper bolsters to keep the ends from splitting or chipping.

For what it is worth. This looks like it may have been inspired by the US model 1909 bolo.

Need help identifying a SEA knife

This good looking knife (small parang?) appears to be of Malaysian origins to me. It is well marked and I am hoping a translation can help us to identify the period and place of origin.

Thanks...

I have no idea what it is, although if I were asked to guess I would say that it looks to have been a part of a oceanic canoe/boat. What do you think?
