Old dagger. Looking for info.

Post by Luke_Bing »

I have had this dagger since about 1991-92. As far as I know it came from India in the 60's. Any other info would be appreciated.

I guess you didn't like the answers on the other forum? It is indeed a tourist grade knife from India. Could easily be 1970sor 1980s, a lot of these inexpensive Indian knives were imported then.

Looks like it comes from India. I had one years ago. As I recall not the greatest quality. ::hmm::

You can find a carving set to match, knife and fork in either end of a carved wooden sheath with legs so it can stand on a table.

Commonly sold in World Bazaar type stores in the 70’s and 80’s.

Here is one of those aforementioned carving sets from India in a slightly different vein.
