Hello Charles,

I have seen this piece and it is much smaller than an average kangkung. It does not have that kind of weight. I believed it was exclusively a status piece.

It's certainly a really odd one, especially with that Chinese dragon on the hilt!
BTW, here's Artzi's
description of the blade: "The blade is heavy, 20 inches long, single edged and hollow ground. It is forged from fine laminated steel."
