All daggers of Khapa are almost of the same type having a short pointed tang circular in section, medium long blade with pointed tip and biconvex section and a ringed base for the blade. The dagger of Takalghat is similar to those of Khapa but is without a ring at the base of the handle, having a solid cylindrical base instead. Knives are evidenced by two specimens, one from Khapa and the other from Takalghat, both alike but fragmentary. They have thin slightly curved blades and a short tang circular in section. - [Previous: v1.c24.s3.18](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c24.s3.18) - [Next: v1.c24.s3.20](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c24.s3.20) - [Up: v1.c24.s3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c24.s3) ## Linked texts (2) - [Khapa](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.khapa) - [Takalghat](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.takalghat) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c24.s3.19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c24.s3.19) · Pramāṇa
