Birthday Gift of a Dha
For my Birthday a friend and fellow collector gave me this rather decent bare blade from a Dha . I have been looking for a nice Dha for some time, but all the ones that turned up were sheet steel blades of no quality.
This blade is 19 inches (48.5cm) long , of a fullered wedge section and has a decent distal taper. A very light and handy blade, and scarily sharp still. After cleaning I want to mount it up in an appropriate but simple style. I am looking forward to comments and suggestions from the Dha enthusiasts and knowledgeable here. |

Hi Dave,
Have a look here http://dharesearch.bowditch.us/ and at the bottom, click on SWORD INDEX. You will find plenty of choice for handle styles. Stu |
