Hello Spiral, and thank you very much for the information for where this might have been made. Now if only someone can help me on who it was that might have made it, whether or not it is a tool or a weapon and give me an idea of when it might have been made I would be more than grateful. Thank you again for your help.
Regards, Robert Last edited by Robert Coleman; 1st December 2012 at 07:35 AM. |

nepali hasiya - a fancy one.
 ubiquitous farm sickle used all over nepal, usually in a wood carrier block with a string baldric, blade partially exposed. like filipino bolos, not designed as a weapon, but as an everyday farm tool. also, like a filipino farmer's bolo, i wouldn't want to tackle a person with one who has used it every day of his life for just about everything. a less fancy one with block & baldric.
