Knives from everywhere...........
Going through some pictures and came across these.Didn't know where else to put them so they wound up here.Some are Chinese and Japanese and Javan and Phillipino and some I just don't know. The African daggers must have been made for pygmies as I can barely grasp the handles with three fingers.Two of the feature a skull crusher point on the pommel similar to a Case V-42. One of the barongs features a handle made from a goat horn decorated with small gold flowers.Another features inlaid mother of pearl pieces. The Phia -kaetta features inlaid silver scroll work on the sides and pommel and was made in the 17th century. So here they are in no particular order;hope you enjoy them.

The African daggers come from the region of the Sahara (Tuareg of the Niger) - always made today
