IT IS A NICE ONE MADE IN THE TRADITIONAL WAY AND THE BLADE DECORATIONS ARE NOT COMMON ON THESE. IT APPEARS TO HAVE SOME AGE TO IT DUE TO THE COLOR OF THE IVORY HANDLE.
THE FIRST TIME I WAS ABLE TO i.d. SOMETHING ON THE FORUM WAS ONE OF THESE DAGGERS THAT ARTZI HAD POSTED LOOKING FOR AN I. D. I FOUND THE POST WHILE LOOKING THRU THE ARCHIVES WHERE IT HAD LANGUISHED UNANSWERED. SO I HAVE FOND MEMORIES OF HAVING BEEN ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE SOME KNOWLEGE. PERHAPS IF I RETURN TO THE MALDIVES AGAIN I CAN GET THE NAME IT IS KNOWN BY THERE.
