GEzell Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 It has the look of a broadsax almost... I love it.

Alan Longmire Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 Of course! When I make it, I had singing like they still for good result... That makes me smile. I can imagine you hammering away, going WHOOOoooooooaaaaaaeeeeeeahaUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuu...... I had never seen Tuvan knives before, but they look a lot like Tibetan ones. Not surprising, I suppose.

Peto Posted June 25, 2012 Author Share Posted June 25, 2012 Yes Alan, you are right... tibetian, china´s, mongolian, siberian - very similar form. This my is really just shape inspired and form of sheath is enough out of tradicional Tuvian´s. Ok, here is result... big knife 49cm, small "kestuk" (women knife) 28cm, leather sheath tuned alike knives. Thank you for looking. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
