12 cm blade , in total 29 cm. Blade thickness at the spine is 2,5 mm thickest. Very thin and sharp blade. I haven‘t cut (or tasted) a bethel nut in my life. How hard are this kind of nuts ?

Hi Thomas,

Thank you for the measurements! I like this knife and like Ian I guess that it could be a betel knife.
Betel gets used in different degrees of hardness of the nut, in India for example gets used the hard nut, on Halmahera it gets used when fresh, so not very hard.

Write you a mail!

Detlef
