ian,
to me, its just a short talibon. it doesnt have the blade profile of a sansibar. the handle also is not in line with the blade. i have several pieces that i am getting from those guys, and that piece was one of them, but not anymore.
i have an actual garab/talibon and an interesting tenegre coming.
i'll post pics to when i get them.
ruel, ian, federico, marc, wilked,
thanks for the input and advice,
we will be taking all of it in to consideration when we finally start this project.
we have learned alot so far........
