My first thought is that this is from south India.
Very nice example and complete! |

Hi Fernando:
A very nice example of a rare knife in its even rarer double-bladed form. Nice to have the velvet padding for the grip and the double scabbard, even in its somewhat damaged form.  Looks 19th C to me too. Ian. |

Congratulations Fernando,
It is a nice and rare Bichwa type, and even with two blades. Ian said it all, but I would like to add - very nice and clear pictures:-). Jens |

I see that I did not commend on the velvet. This really is rare to find, and the scabbard is as it is, but it is there.
