i have what appears to be a type 1, with a 15.5 cm blade & a wooden grip. it's well made and properly hardened & will shave an elephant if such was needed....

(the blade is actually highly polished steel, the reflection makes it look blued.  negative image is clearer. http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s.../cretanenh.jpg the scabbard is synthetic tho & i'll make it a better one at some stage that is more in keeping. i gather the 'armenis' designation is because the xanians thought apostolis was armenian when he moved there from turkey... i like it alot & will eventually be looking to get a type 2a
