Lovely example also TK!
Do the two hilts have a mechanism to lock them together, converting the twin daggers into a single dagger? |

GePi,
The Indian blades look well crafted and show a similar locking device to the example of Turkoman.khan. The Turkestan pair are gorgeous knives and perfectly matched. Are any of these blades wootz? Any idea about what they were used for? Ian Last edited by Ian; 20th February 2024 at 09:13 AM. |

The second Turkestan example is Gavin's and pattern welded I believe. As for usage, I am not sure. It could just be a gimmick. I thought mine could be a razor because they are quite thin and very sharp, but the blades are purposefully slightly bending inwards. |
