Hwi #2
The second of the Hwi. 62cm total length with 48cm blade. 5mm at the base quickly tapering to 4mm. Hunter defeated by lion motif on both sides of the blade, with a rifle lying beside on one side. Typical curled quillon. More substantial guard on this one. Unlike the first one this one has a peen block.
Both Hwi have similar longitudinal streaks along the blade and similar smaller machine(?) tool marks across.
