Kaskara
6633132820 Decent one for a decent price....
 Blade seems a verry crude one... 70 cm overal. As a matter of fact, what is the maximum lenght kaskara you've got? |

I too followed this one, wasn't overly convinced it was a good one , the length (as already pointed out was, I felt, too short).........and that blade
 looked like a madman with an angle-grinder had decided to give it a 'polish'

I also saw this one. When was the last time you saw one of the moons not face the edge?

Eagle eyed Jeff, just look at the chord. This is nasty.

Hi Valjhun,
As Tim, Rick and kantana have noted, this probably is not the best that the Sudanese can do. Most likely it was made for those travelling for pleasure. BTW My kaskara is 104 cm total length. Jeff |

Hi Rick,
I will be happy to show these. They are stamped, and a couple are inlaid with either copper or a red gold. The marks are attributed to Peter Kull the last picture is from "Geschichte Der Solinger Klingenindustrie" by R. Cronau. I think I did post this one before on the old forum. If you want any other close ups I will be more than happy to show this one off, crude they say Hummph...  Jeff |
