Description

Two long metal blades are photographed upright side by side against a plain grey background. Each has a narrow tang at the top that ends in a curled hook, a raised central ridge running down the blade, and a pointed tip. The surfaces look corroded and pitted, and the edges of both blades are chipped in places.
