Ian and Mel,
What are the lengths of the straight parts of the blades of your convos? |

Ariel and Sajen, The only other photo that I have at the moment is too large to upload. I'll sort it out this week and take another photo at a lower resolution and take some measurements.

Ariel:
Neither of the knives I show is mine. The length of the spine on the refashioned example is just under 3 inches, as shown by the accompanying ruler used as a scale. Corvo range in size considerably. I have examples with blades as short as 3.75 inches and as long as 8.25 inches. In my experience these are definitely knives and not short swords. Sajen: Nice example of an older version. Perhaps late 19th C but probably early 20th C. Ian. Last edited by Ian; 4th June 2018 at 05:39 AM. |

Just have received another corvo, it is a little bit smaller with 8" as the other one.
