![]() Hello dear members,
I've purchased recently a mini dha, real ivory handle and fine silver work at the scabbard, good blade. It's just 15 cm long inside scabbard, 13,5 cm without with a blade from 7,5 cm. ![]() When it arrives I've realized that it isn't the only very small knife in my collection. I'll share them here in two pictures, from left to right: A. A very small french navaja with back lock, opened 17 cm B. A small Faca de Ponta, 18 cm without scabbard C. A very small dha knife for a woman or child, 13,5 cm D. A small badik from Java, opened 18 cm E. A Korean Eunjangdo, opened 12,3 cm, closed 13 cm F. A small gunong, worked for those who travel but early and good worked, 16 cm without scabbard G. A small bichak from the Laz people, side knife of a bigger one?, 18,5 cm H. A jimat keris, Java, without scabbard 17 cm Enjoy and I hope to see other little knives! ![]() Last edited by Sajen : 18th April 2020 at 10:52 PM. |

![]() Here are my miniatures of blades; there are 8 pieces in my collection, all made in scale 1/5 by a Hungarian artist in the 1960s. All of them have leather grips and the sheeth of the prima plana husar sabre has also a leather cover. All miniatures have the absolutely correct form - without a reference sword they are hardly to distinguish from an original item.

Hello Udo, I haven't had in mind miniatures (copys) from bigger examples but of course they belong to this thread. I know that Arjan has worked (or still work?) miniatures from ethnograhic weapons, when I remember correct they have been nice like your examples. ![]() Regards, Detlef |
