From a french book cover (Jean Tanazacq- great knifemaker in France) :

Best,

Looks like a traditional Tibetan thee albeit a pretty big one. They generally wear these on a chain around the neck -- swivel attachment -- can draw with either hand from any angle.
 
I like the bottom one! Very nice. Don't want to try and buy one tho. I like my Khukuris......:)


Christmas mail is sure slowing mail up. Usually receive orders from UB in 2 to 3 days. Nice things come to those that wait, sometimes.:D
 
Looks like there are good knife makers all over the world. Those are beauties.:)
 
OK. I recognize it now, but I didn't know that their name was thee albeit. Many thanks Bill.

Its just a "thee", the "albeit" means something like "although it is" or "although it be" in that sentence

(a very humble correction from someone who only speaks ONE language, and not even very well--no offense meant Stephen, just didn't want you to call it the wrong name:) )
 
Thanks, Rob. I'm with you on the one language deal. I've been trying for almost 70 years to master English.

As I mentioned, when I tried to speak French in Paris nobody understood a word I said.
 
I've just recently started two Cherokee Language classes. They are both for beginners, but one's a little more formal Cherokee while the other one is more modern Cherokee as spoken on the Cherokee Land in Notheastern Oklahoma today.
I like the formal one the best as they are also teaching the 84 syllabary symbols that started out with 86 symbols.
Cherokee being an alive and active language means that it's going to continually change or it will cease being an active language.
I've always been impressed with Sequoyah's Syllabary but I just recently found out that Sequoyah didn't speak or read or write English!!!!
To me that made Sequoyah's feat that much more remarkable!!!!

I'm just hoping to at least learn how to pray a little bit in my native language as it's said that the Cherokee language spoken by a true Cherokee has even more power.
And it will be really nice to be able to compose and/or maybe even learn some of the old songs that so far have eluded my learning.
It will be even nicer if I can learn enough to pass it correctly on down the line to the younger folks who are Cherokee that comes to our Sweatlodge and other ceremonies.
As in the way of our people, To The Seventh Generation!!!!!!!
