Betel Cutter

Hello All,

I recently picked up this Betel Nut cutter, I'm wondering if anyone could identify its origin. Is it Indian or South East Asian?

Cheers, Russel

My latest Gunong

Not to be outdone by Detlef, I thought I would show off the most recent addition to my small Gunong collection.

This one is rather basic, but very functional. Blade is 19cm long and 6.6mm thick! ...

Thankyou

Thanks guys,

Great to read your assessment. That makes this little beast almost certainly the oldest item in my collection! I was quite sure it had some age to it, but I imagined early 19th...

Beautiful carving! I love Rencong, I only have two in my collection. Any chance of more photos of the scabbard and blade?

A beautiful collection Detlef. When you receive the restored Gunong from Robert, it would be great to see a group photograph.

Congratulations, I was was hoping nobody would notice this. If I am correct, it is a 19thC Indian Jamdhar Katari.

I had thought it might be a Kirpan, but I am unsure of what exactly defines one. Other than being a small knife carried by a Sikh, what are their features?

Small Indian (?) dagger for ID

Hello all,

I received this little dagger recently. I am curious what members think its origin might be. It has a distinctly Indian/Nepalese feel about it.

It is 22cm OAL, with a 12.5 cm...

Truly stunning!

I am curious as to what would have originally filled the exposed timber section on one side of the scabbard: shagreen/velvet?

Another Gunong for restoration

I recently won this little (8.5") Gunong cheaply on ebay - even cheaper than yours Detlef :) Sadly no scabbard.

Despite the rather poor sellers images I believe it to be a nice older example. I...
