Like most guys, I'm fascinated by archaic weapons. I haven't got any museum pieces, but over the years I've acquired a few bits of steel I'm fond of. This is my most recent purchase: a Russian kindjal.
Here's the catalog blurb:
Military issue version served Russian armed forces well into the mid-20th century. This curved, double-edge blade was perfect as a close combat weapon. It originated in the Georgian Republic of Russia, but was best known as a Cossack weapon. 17 1/4" long, high carbon steel blade is 1 3/8" wide. 23 1/4" long, overall. Wt. 1 lb. 6 oz. Hardwood grip on full tang.
Isn't it lovely? Sort of half pirate, half ninja. :-)
