Good point Lew. I take it it is double edged. Grinding away a whole back edge would be a bit silly I think. I would not be surprised to see the fullers on the right in the reverse of that view of the blade. That is seen on many swords from the Sudan and Soudanic Africa.

Did anyone from the forum buy this sword?

Yes Lew.

Well done shame the scabbard is not with it. I wonder what it would have been like. I had a few Kaskara but there all gone now, the prices are rather high these days
