nice one Geoff !
just received my smallest bichaq ever
which made up 10 times my auction experience and "lost" lot
total length 18 cm
blade 10 cm
ferrule 1 cm and steel; unlike all others which are copper, this one is part of or tied to the blade
handle. grip 7 cm
scabbard 13,5 cm
it clearly differs from the "cutlery" knives (who are without scabbard anyway) and I never saw one like his before.
Perhaps an apprentice piece or just show of mastership,
who nows....
Your thoughts please..
much obliged !
Gunar
