  1. 📖 Luis Mendonça de Carvalho, Francisca Maria Fernandes, and Ana Paula Figueira are three of the author of a paper dedicated to "a centuries-old woodworking tradition that has stood the test of time": the wooden locks and keys of the island of Corvo (Azores). 🌳

  6. Once more, I had the privilege of meeting the incredible graphical maestro Luís Louro, who graciously adorned my copy of "O Corvo III" with a personalized drawing of the "Viúva Negra," right by the serene shores of Sesimbra. Anticipation builds for tomorrow's eagerly awaited signing affair at Sesimbra's enchanting book fair, where I'll be presenting yet another masterpiece for the distinctive touch of Luis Louro's autograph. #BookArt #Sesimbra #Corvo

  7. CW: #swords #knife #dagger #Chile Help ID this dagger?

    #ethnography #history #chile #EdgedWeapons

    I am a collector of antique ethnographic edged weapons. I’m having difficulty identifying this dagger. Surprising, the experts in my circle are equally stumped. Can you provide any info or informed speculation on this mystery dagger?

    The seller thought it might be from #Chile. Other collectors agree. It is definitely not a #corvo, the traditional knife of Chile. I see the #Spanish influence, for example in the stacked hilt (as in the cuchillo canario) and the quilions.

    I am particularly interested if anyone has seen a pattern similar to the design of the hilt. A Google image search turned up nothing useful.

    Hilt: Stacked bone, iron/nickel and stone of various thickness in overall hexagonal shape
    Hilt: circular insets in thicker stacks are metal, possibly silver, or glass/semiprecious stone.
    Hilt: is fully hand sized, nearly barrel shaped but not as pronounced as one finds in other daggers and knives with Spanish design influence.
    Hilt: Locations where thumb would be positioned in normal working use are worn, indicating regular use over a long period of time.

    Blade: well forged, diamond cross-section, wedge sharpening on both sides for right-hand use

    Overall: hilt and blade appear similar in wear and tear. This is not a novelty or tourist knife. It is built to be useful. It feels outstanding in the hand. Very well balanced but with some heft. Wear on blade and hilt is consistent with regular use.

    Any ideas?
