New pedang lurus enter the collection soon

[JeffS]

Cool sword. I find the blade profile on some of these pedangs lurus like yours interesting and distinctive. For some reason they strike me as vaguely insectoid. Is there a functional reason for the widening and minor angle change at mid blade? I think a scabbard tip matching the wood at the throat of the scabbard would look right. Nice topographic pamor.

Hi Jeff,

Also to you thank you for your comments and compliment!

It would be great to know what the foot looked like! To find a matching wood to the scabbard mouth would be a challenge. I am with Martin to use black horn.
No clue why the blade shape is like this, I see these pedangs more as a long dagger for stabbing.

Regards,
Detlef
