And here one without guard.

Sajen,

Thank you for the examples! When I think of stacked hilts, these are what comes to mind. What was (and remains) confusing is the thickness and decoration of the layers of the stack. Dots, of course, are a ubiquitous decoration but in my limited experience, seldom found on stacked hilts. The only examples in my collection are from Syria.

The shape of the blade and the triangular piece at the forte are a match. Thanks for finding this one!

Hello Dave,
Yes, the hilt construction is a little bit unusual.

Regards,
Detlef

Sadly, the URL is malformed, perhaps because it is too long, and your link goes nowhere. Will you please try again?

Don't know what went wrong, here another try: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...ighlight=corvo

A Chilean corvo that shows the features I mentioned above.

Another one which was recently sold by Hermann Historica together with a Canary Island knife and an Albacete dagger.

I was able to acquire one, it's maybe the one shown in post #9.
Here a picture together with my other Chilean knives.

Just adding my meagre Chilean corvo collection to the pile, with octagonal stacked hilts. The Strong V shaped blade reinforcement seems to be fairly diagnostic on the Chilean connection.
