Batara (or Jose, which ever you prefer),
Thanks! I'm very happy with it! No I just need a Kampilan, and a mandau, and probably about 20 other things.
...once I save up a bit. I think the bug bit me bad...
I have to admit, I'm a bit nervous about etching a blade. I've yet to do so, and I have three to do at this point (the maguindinao kris and the maranao kris you identified in a previous thread). I'm thinking the procedure here is what I'll do, specifically with vinegar.
