A Tabarzin, Indian saddle-axe from Bikaner, 19th century
Indian, 19th century
Measures: height 56cm, width 12.5cm, depth 4cm

Dense and beautiful floral scroll patterns line its length, and the base unscrews to reveal a stunning hidden dagger, that is approximately a third of the axe's length.

A 19th century Indian silver inlaid dagger with a Damascus steel blade, C 1870
Located in Central England, GB
A fine 19th-century ornate Indian dagger superbly made from hand forged folded steel known as Damascus which shows on the blade with a pattern almost like wood grain.
The whole knife is made from solid steel and the handle is most elaborate with a curved grip which terminates in a tiger’s head all of which is profusely inlaid with finely cut silver in foliate patterns and panels with realistic markings to the tiger's head.
This fine and interesting antique knife would be a good addition to any collection or would be very useful on a desk as a paper or letter opening knife.
Some history on the Damascus steel:
The history of Damascus steel can be traced all the way back to 500 A.D. when in India it was called Telangana, Wootz or Ukku steel. It then found its way to Damascus, Syria, which was the centre of trade in that region for war equipment such as knives, swords and armour. The name “Damascus” wasn’t adopted until the time of the Crusaders. The Crusaders witnessed Damascus swords...

An important Bizen samurai sword by the Yoshioka Ichimonji school
Late Kamakura Period, circa 1320
NBTHK Juyo Token
Measures: Nagasa [length]: 67.3 cm
Motohaba [bottom width]: 2.8 cm
Sakihaba [top width]: 1.9 cm
Sori [curvature]: 1.6 cm
Sugata [configuration]: shinogi-zukuri, mitsu-mune, tori-zori curvature with chu-kissaki
Kitae [forging pattern]: itame with prominent hada pattern covered in ji-nie. Distinctive midare utusuri
Hamon [temper line]: choji and ko-choji midare in bright nioi deki mixed with tobari-ba
Hataraki [activities]: ashi, yo and sunagashi
Boshi [point temper line]: midare-komi with kaeri
Horimono [carving]: bo-hi on both sides
Nakago [tang]: 20.8 cm; o-suriage with slight kurijiri end, mumei, three mekugi-ana (one filled); kiri-yasurime [horizontal file marks]
Sayagaki: The blade is in an old shirasaya. The scabbard bears an inscription by Honami Seizan (d. 1926) with the sword’s name Yakumo-maru, its length and the owner’s name, Gokaraku.
Koshirae [mounts]: The sword is accompanied by a nice set of koshirae from the Edo period, with gold and shakudo kodogu and an iron tsuba from the Shimizu Higo school.
Origami [certificate]: With a certificate of registration designating this blade as Juyo Token (Important Sword) issued by the Nihon Bijutsu Token Hozon Kyokai (Society for the Preservation of the Japanese Art Sword), dated 2008 (54th Juyo session).
The sword is massive and elegant, with a slender shape and well-balanced proportions. The jigane is a flowing itame, with a prominent hada pattern covered in ji-nie, showing a very strong midare utsuri. The midare hamon is in a birght nioi deki, with flamboyant choji and ko-choji which sometime shows undulations inside the temper-line, in a togari-like design. The nioiguchi is bright, all of which displays the excellence of workmanship in this one blade. Both the ji and ha are in the healthy condition of a masterpiece. The bo-hi carvings on both sides have been added probably during the Nanbokucho period, as they show the typical pointed end at the height of the yokote, which would allow the reconstruction of the point in case the sword was damaged in battle.
The Ichimonji School was founded during the Kamakura Period (1185-1333) and was active through all the Nanbokucho (1333-1392). Considered one of the most important schools of production for the Japanese sword...
