Tenegre and mystery knife...
found this tenegre in an antique shop today. the handle is made out of carabao horn. the diety is unlike i've seen before. it looks like a bat with three horns. the guard is tear drop shaped; at first i thought it was pure decoration, but when i held it in my hand, it made a lot of sense. the pointy part of the teardrop actually protects the knuckles. pretty slick, huh?
here's the stats:
total length: 25"
handle:6"
blade width (widest): 1 5/16"
blade width (narrow): 5/16"
