Question What's this ???

I bought this piece yesterday. I really have no idea what I found. It looked genuine, it's heavy and quite sharp. Some kind of sickle (weapon), I guess.

Total length is 64 cm, with a wooden handle...

Thanks for the info, Ward. You're quite right. :)

Katana, Justin,

I think that it's far easier using steel from files than actually making your own steel.

As to the shape of these knives, yes they are all quite similar. I see that on Katana's...

Thumbs up Bou-saâdi knife

I recently found this knife on ebay. From time to time, similar knives are offered, mostly of a poor quality. But when I received this particular piece, I noticed it was really well made.

It is a...

Mine is an old Wayang golek puppet with a moustache. I especially like it because it also wears a keris in its belt.
