Twin Burmese knives
Twin Burmese knives are very unusual in my experience and presumably represent some Chinese influence. The 19th C examples here show two smallish knives (OAL in sheath 26 cm) with back edges sharpened in the distal half. Matching silver ferrules. The silver mounted wooden sheath is likely a later addition. The unequal blade lengths might reflect damage to one (and reshaped), or perhaps they were made that way.
Does anyone here have similar examples of twin Burmese blades?
