Henk,
Is the straight-bladed example edged on both sides or is it a "back sword", edged only on one? Is it sharpened at all?
The tulwar hilt is not condusive to the thrust with a straight blade, as it doesn't permit the wrist extension necessary. I'm puzzled by the mating of what appears to be a thrusting blade with this form of hilt.
Thank you for sharing these with us, Henk.
