I dunno Kai Wee, you may not think this one is too pretty, but it does seem to be pretty special. It has wonderful talismanic symbols etched on the blade and is that not fossilized elephant molar as the kakatu pommel.
The whole ensemble also seems to be complete and original. It's a weapon i would love to have.
Your other comments are wise and well stated. Thanks
Thanks for the link as well. I've found links to this before but only skimmed it. Perhaps this will encourage me to read it all.
