Well, if you consider an upward thrust that would open certain digestive organs and let the rice that's already been eaten fall out, I suppose you COULD call that harvesting rice, to a certain extent? **grin**

Definitely a Korambit. Made for harvesting people who steal rice.

Have heard it called a korambi or lawi ayam. Yeah, it's a fighting knife, usually used by the lower classes like our view of a switchblade. One swift unexpected motion and the guy's guts are on the floor! It's an ambush type of attack, not a defensive weapon. Similar to a jambiya in the use of the curved blade, the complaint with straight knives is that it is difficult to get around the protective ribs to deliver a really massive fatal blow, this design solves that problem- the first guthook design! I've heard there is a small one that Malay and Sumatra women keep in their hair bun (konde). Never seen one of these, sure would buy it if I do! |
