Very old Hemola from Savu

You don't often see Hemolas from Savu! Can't find anything in my books.

29" long with buffalo horn handle. Patterned blade. With all the holes, I would guess it was once a very Hairy Hemola

Comments?

Yeah, severe case of age baldness...

Another piece I like very much!

BTW, I assume the forging flaw is due to less sophisticated local forging skills?

Regards,
Kai
