This Makaraka dagger is 30cm high and the plate shaped handle has a diameter of 10cm. Indeed these daggers are very rare. In private collections I have seen two, but this does not mean there are no other collectors who own one as well. anyway I was very lucky that I could get one. Makaraka daggers, far as I know, never had a scabbard. It's a little difficult to see it on the photo, but that dagger has no scabbard too.
