Here is a leaf knife... wearable, inconspicuous but razor sharp and deadly...

Here is another one... double edged, button actuated with a LED light too...

Well guys... got a knock on the door and voila.. these two lil' ones also begged me to let them into the cupboard with their elder counterparts... couldn't say no...

Now for the meaner ones...
This one might be familiar to a few IFGians

Very grateful to my favourite Doc and guru Eljefe !

Olly, No pics seem to be showing.

OK,, this one was probably gifted by Don Quixote himself to Nagarifle... but its wandering spirit ultimately found its way to my door step. A big thank you Naga, for this beautiful piece... hope you like the lil' restoration. Still don't know what is on the handle... snake skin, shark skin ??

olly what can i say your are a genius man, got the junk off and produce a buety. now i wished i have not let you get near it.

i think its shark skin, if my brain pattern is right, in old days they used shark skin or sting ray skin, for the handle.

then again it does have that skin of snake look.
any way just enjoy

Looks better up front, good work Olly

.

For those with access to shark skin, here's something I found. It can be used on hilts and sheaths.

Nagarifle,
It can be yours again if you want it anytime... I just collect because of my "passion disease"... but I never ever forget the donor !! The gratitude will remain nevertheless, since you gave me a chance to play with it...

This one's interesting and could still be used like an Ulu. Who's it made by?

Nice stuff Olly.

I had once seen it in someone's house in Mysore.. and whatever/however I pleaded, he would not let go of it - cited emotional reasons of his grandfather having it in his belt and such.

As far as I know, its getting so damn rotten that even if slightly used, one will surely die of Tetanus!
