Looking for a complete example with intact "horns" on pommel and scabbard. Just not seeing any coming up for sale. Please let me know if you have one to part with, via PM or email. Thank you!

Kris style
Awhile back I purchased a kris very similar to the one shown below. I haven't handled it yet as it was shipped to family until I can pick it up. Presumably Sulu with the horse hoof pommel. In both...

My blade has very fine hairpin lamination (pic below), and I understand that is a known characteristic of Kachin sword dao. Do you see this on your blade? Husa is a village (area) that is ethnically...

I had been looking for the right barong for a couple of years, a few months back I finally found one. The blade was very rusty but cleaned up nice outside of some pitting. The ferule is very thick...
