A Contemporary Pira

Antonio Cejunior · 28th May 2007, 08:56 AM

Hi folks,

Sorry but I've been terribly busy.
Anyway the Pira has arrived and is absolutely awesome!!!

I had a quick picture taken to share with you all.

No pose and I'm not a muscle builder. Just made sure my both hands were not disturbing the Pira.

Wonderful contemporary masterpiece.

Beautiful piece my friend - quality exudes from it!

Makes me think that as we examine some of the older blades of varying styles that don't quite fit into regional standards - we should always remember that there are those of us now, as there must have been back then, that like our own touch on traditional designs.

Beautifully executed!

Well spoken

I wonder what place modern-made blades have in the EAA forums, I note they are almost never discussed... I mean they aren't "true as antiques"... but they are today's weaponry (many of which are now used second to the firearm)... the kukri, the ginunting, the barong, the machete, etc. are all good examples....

and they are the antiques of tomorrow (or a lot of tomorrows)
