My Heirloom - Modern Dha

wilked aka Khun Deng · 22nd March 2009, 07:45 PM

E Da Kine Bra! I do find myself calling everyone "bruda"

Sorry my personal trainer (the wife) has me on a strict diet -no pancakes

The deal I cut on the Sulu kris was a rental agreement, if the family ever finds themselves in a good position financially they can buy it back from me for what I paid (I left them my contact info). Probably never happen but they really didn't want to let it go and I completely understand.

Very nice sword.

Serge is a good bloke to deal with, sometimes at the mercy of his craftspeople. But the quality is certainly worth the wait.

Congrats on your fine sword.

Cheers

May it have many inscriptions on the blade!

Ariel,
Thank you so much!

nice one, especially the ivory and inlaid decorations. i prefer the dha style grips to the daarb style. would you like to adopt a slightly more senior heir?

i've got two cozun daarbs thru serge's efforts (with ebay's assistance - someone else bought them from serge)

top one has etched decor, the bottom one has been incised like yours, just not yet inlaid.

Beautiful dha, Dan! A thoroughly personal design, yet adhering to tradition. I like that you had the engraving inlaid, and also the tri-metal inlays on the spine. The use of ivory is brilliant.
