Hi Spunjer,

It's 4,5 cm. Nice thread with some great spearheads, thanks.
And my blade is just slightly longer than the XXL Budiak posted.
I do have a Budiak so I put them next to each other.
From bird perspective I agree that there are some resemblance.
But looking from the side the Budiak resemblance is lost.
Also my blade has both a different tip and tang than a Budiak.
If you look at the blade thickness picture above it's obviously much flatter
than a Budiak and thinnest at its center.
Maybe Mabagani had another kind of spear in mind?

Michael
