Hey Andrew

That is not a picture of an ethnographic weapon or related item so you must delete it

On the contrary, my friend. Padma is Indian, and certainly qualifies as an "ethnographic object" worthy of intense study.

Default "Men kill with their swords...

"But she kills with her eyes"

So she can be construed as a weapon... just sayin'.

Hello Flavio,
Thanks for sharing your collection!
I can only aspire to acquire the knowledge neccessary to acquire such a diverse collection. Any chance of some closeups of your kukri? Heres what is probably the best piece I have, from a collectors viewpoint.

Best wishes

Dan

Dan / Scaratch,

Nice khuk. I think that you would see some nice patterns if you decided to put some vinegar on it.



Flavio,

Do you have any more detailed pictures of this piece? I have one much like it with a kris blade.

I am curious about the three lances (?) at the bottom. What are they called, and where are they from?
