Mack The Knife,
Possession is illegal.As the one that you have does not have it's cover,I think it would be legal to hold.

Mack The Knife,
Don't think cops bother people who keep blades as long as they are not used to hurt anyone.

Mack The Knife,
This is OT, but what's the 'shout box' for?

The first pic posted looks like the working version of the "Odi katti" (Ayda katti as the westerners call it)carried by the Coorgis.
The pichangetti is a smaller ceremonial dagger which is tucked into a "cummerbund" like belt on weddings and formal occasions.The pichangettis can be really expensive ,I've heard they start at 15-20 ks.

Yup Yaj,

have been paricipant at many 'pichakatti' ocasions and the joie de vivre at a wedding is amazing...cant get enough!
Best and welcome aboard
