This is great!
I can make a handle like that fairly easily. Notice the similarities in decoration style with the new one Tim? I like the 'temple' one kronckew. I think the blade I have has considerable age. The site you link to talks about larger ones! Hmmm, interesting ;-) Certainly worth carving a nice handle for I'd say!! Hopefully the blade will clean up nicely. |

I agree: Thai. Very interesting blade. Where did you come by this, Atlantia? Any provenance?
Welcome to the forum, by the way.

Hi Andrew, Thanks :-) I bought it at a car boot sale about 5 years ago from a trader who I see regularly who sells stuff that looks like its come out of derelict barns and sheds. Always dirty, always old rusty stuff, sometimes architectural, doors, locks, normally bigger stuff. Sometimes he has boxes of bits and this was just in amongst some bits he had once. Didn't cost much, I wouldn't have paid more than about £5 for it. I've had some great car boot sale finds over the years! Like this Pesh-Kabz: £23.00
