Langets

Thanks guys, always good to get your input. Mark, you are right about boarding axes - don't see one for months and then several come along. Although I'm beginning to wish I'd stuck to cutlasses! ...

Hi,

Can anyone help with the mark on this cutlass blade or even suggest a country of origin. It appears to be a plant or a tree or even perhaps bamboo. The handle is also unusual and incorporates...
