Hi Ariel,
You are right; they made some striking hilts in India. The first one looks however a bit strange, was it brought together?
The ‘nail’ hilt has been discussed earlier – someone had bought a tulwar with a hilt like this. The other knifes have interesting hilts, but being a katar man myself I like the katar very much. Like BluErf writes, it could very well be a keris blade, pity we cant see the side of the side guards – it might very well be south Indian. Is it?
Thanks for showing.
Jens
