Badek Style Dagger with Hippo Tusk - 6653


This one is a very interesting item employing a spear like blade with a badek style pistol grip shaped handle. The blade is wavy11 inches long and forged from good pamor clearly seen,. The handle is carved from a Hippo tusk ivory, characterized by the thin line of small dots along the tusk. Wood scabbard bound with rattan strips and braided rattan rings. Probably a later marriage of the blade and the handle, but well executed and for real use. Total length 14 ½ inches. NOT a tourist item. Very good condition.
