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! Dan |

 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) |

Thanks all for the kind words. Been a long long while. One of the things I believe is in not being a dogmatic person. Almost about everything is subjective. Migration inter-influences and hybridism have been there since the stone age. So I guess it is nice to design an interpretation piece that could be a little bit of the past of tomorrow Cheers everyone. |
