This blade is so heavy, forward leaning and sharp it would likely do a lot of damage in the Ashura self inflicted wounds, I bet. It’s of the weight that...

Here is another Tulwar with a very similar blade, in terms of fullers, hollow grooved spine, and similar eyelash marking stamps. Just much heavier and not as nimble.

Would you say that both blades...

Thank you Jim, for your detailed thoughts on it. My saber actually came with a yali tipped knuckle bow guard, which was so close to the hilt that it came off when my friend tried to wield it.
