Small Knife with Rock Crystal (?) Handle, Probably Sri-Lanka - 8426


We are not quite sure as to the origin and age of this knife. It is small but well made steel blade 5 inches long and quite sharp. Handle cbeautifully carved from a piece of what might be natural Rock Crystal. White metal collar. Total length 8 inches. Very good condition. No scabbard. The general shape of the handle and blade reminds in a way the Sri – Lanka Piha Kahetta. The age might be early 19 C or earlier. Very attractive item.
