Vietnamese Sword

Hello Ariel,

There is a funny similarity between the handle of Guom and those of Luzon Minasbad.

While I usually agree with your astute observations, I beg to differ on this one: I don't see any similarities short of European influences (handguard, spiral grip binding).

Different creatures, different disk guards, different styles, different construction - please explain what you see!

Regards,
Kai
