Yes, theyre both "pahi" which basically means "knife"...They werent really used as weapons but more as carving tools and implements used for everyday stuff like small kine fine carving, trimming kapa, skinning bark from olona to make cordage, cleaning & gutting fish, skinning pig, etc.... You really busted those out wikiwiki bruddah! They look great and are probably very strong considering you used oak for the handles! If you need a good hook-up on Genuine Koa, let me know brah. These kine implements were usually made from Milo and Koa and look pono when made from the actual Hawaiian hardwoods... Just wait until you get the Peter Buck Books! Youre gonna be making all kine different weapons and things li'dat! Keep up the good work cuz!!! Malama Pono!
