Hi Norman,
I am inclined to believe that these 'dhup' are typically backswords (SE) as yours and Rick's, it seems other examples I have seen are single edged. From the blade appearance of Stu's I am suspecting this is a double edged blade, note the fullers are centrally placed. In backswords, the fullers are of course inclined toward the back of the blade with the blade resulting in more of a 'wedge' shape. |
