These are really cool.
Royston, When you say Never been sharpened, do you mean that the edges are blunt? As in never been sharp? Curious, as they look like nice old pieces. I wouldn't have placed them as demonstrative or decorative.
These are all really, really nice either way.

Hi Gav,
my thoughts were that as these are used as pairs, one could be used to 'hook' an arm or the neck, unbalancing, blocking or pulling the opponant towards you ....as you 'slice' with the other
