The (unintentional) artistry of edged weapons

[Rafngard]

Hello all,

Four of my favorite, 2 old, and 2 modern.

1) an old Bugis Keris
(OK, maybe "simple" isn't the right term here)

2) an old Somali billaawe

3) a modern Waray Binalhag, made by Gilbert Ingrato in St. Rita, Samar
(Gilbert is a really nice guy btw, I met him at his home last year and bought this from him)

4) a modern Pira, from Zamboanga, by Mang Ruben

Enjoy!
