The Other Kerambits

The other two kerambits I mentioned a few posts back. On the left, Chuck Pippin's design, you can see more at Tribal Edge Knifeworks.

On the right, the double-bladed version Bobbe brought back from Java.

I didn't insert a scale into the image, but if I put my forefinger through a ring, my hand will pretty much occupy the rest of the grip, so you can see they are smallish knives. The cutting edge on Chuck's blade is a bit over two inches long.

The single-edge model is relatively easy to wave about doing djurus; the double-bladed one is a little trickier. One needs to be careful, else one might slice something upon one's own person one might not wish to slice ...
