The July Sword Unboxing: Some Rare Indo-Persian Bits And 17th Century Sword

[@jaytomioka3137]

I love your “out of the box” solution to your critics 😂 regarding your boxless unboxing video!

I avoided getting a Nimcha for the longest of times. I finally did it, and got a more naval size blade (European import most likely) and a wooden grip. Boy do they feel good in the hand. That notch for the small finger gives it a unique control. You use a sabre like grip, but your hand feels secured holding it. I am still avoiding non-European swords to avoid diluting my collection focus, but Nimchas are pretty unique. I'm now happy I got one.

thumb loops on hilts are usually associated with more cut oriented cultures and index finger loops are associated with thrust oriented cultures

The second nimcha is simply a different sword type altogether, although they are related. The first is from Morocco or Algeria and the other is from Zanzibar or Oman. The peen block represents a turtle. That type of blade is a typical style for the Arabian peninsula. I have one with a straight blade and it's one of my favorite swords to hold. That grip is super comfortable with my leather glove on.

that early modern Chinese short sword is very similar to the Artillery swords / Cabbage chopper . . . . of Europe at the same time probably has a European made blade as well
