Sorry its a bit difficult this way. I am sure that I or some of our members will be able to give some information on the knife but you will have to post a picture first.

Apart from this maybe someone with a good memory can help you out.

Dear all.
Once I have been to Ranchi their I found on the Sunday morning they do have a market that is called as ISRI market around 2km long where they use to sell many weapons (basically) Indian knives without any licenses but as far as my knowledge is concern if the sharp edges are more than that of 4'' then you have declare it to govt. and you will have to posses a license for it but the knife used for cutting vegetables and farming are exempted from the act.
It means you cannot move with it openly.

But telling you the truth,
from their I did got an dagger used by Gurkha still now it is with me.
I know I have possessed the weapon in a unauthorized manner but if you go their you can find many old knives and of fascinating design.

Abhrankash: knives with blades upto 9" are exempted from the arms act and do not require a license.

As for moving about openly with knives this is still under debate.

You are right agricultural and domestic knives even longer than 9" are exempted.

The Aks (hope I got that right) knife may be a one off fantasy knife. There are not too many commercial production knives used in movies. Often the knife also needs to be 'rigged' for safety reasons. They re cast the knife in rubber or resin. Pretty much like the bang bang guns they use in movies that work just like the real ones but don't output a projectile. A picture would be welcome.

Great thread Subal.
Unlike many of the fine knives you have pictured, my EDC is a humble Gerber mini paraframe. I do not depend on it for self defense but rather use its clip point for mundane cutting tasks which include cutting and stripping cable like Cat 5e. There have been many times when I have had to strip cable and have not had any other cutting tools with me. It has served remarkably well in this role. It has even avoided getting the nicks on the blade that wire cutting normally inflicts and holds a decent edge for a long time. It is small enough that I don't even notice it in my pocket and I have never had an issue with corrosion. For small controlled cuts in tight quarters, it works well. They are also cheap enough that replacing a lost or damaged knife is no big deal.
Some might say that relying on such a small blade for self defense is foolish but thankfully I don't have to carry a knife for that particular task. Certainly if I was in a wilderness situation, I would rely on something more robust but for my daily activities, it is ideal. I use the non-serrated version unlike the photo below. I also have a full size Paraframe but tend not to carry that as much. Some people claim that carrying an open bodied folder like the Paraframe tends to make it hard to clean but I haven't noticed that. Some will also mention that the frame lock is not very strong but it is more than substantial for the tasks I use it for.

nice folder, knife not necessary should look like museum artifact to be useful.

A dozen locking systems exist in the market but out of these among the most durable and error free are the frame locks and the liner locks. This is not to mention simplicity. This is the reason why Chris Reeves selected and developed the frame locking system for his best selling folder the Sebenza, another example is the Military model of Spyderco and scores of others from reputed knife makers.
