The Siraui is a utility knife and with small adaptions (like the way the knife is shifted in for instance Silat Bondawasa, for those of you who have trained with Uncle Bill) all the 6 listed grips are possible. I suspect that they were intended to be used, utility-wise, in a forward grip with edge down.

Michael, no exact reference is given other than the date

I am not familiar with the art of or grips of the Siraui, perhaps someone can show this style of knife in these grips
