Anytime I see well executed fullers, especially silver filled, I am curious about twistcore. Of course it is no guarantee, but it is certainly worth the effort to find out.
Agreeing with Kino and Dave, this was all "born together". It's a shame the cording has worn, but it also confirms age.
Maguindanao blades are typically beefy and wicked sharp...this one looks no different.
Congrats on a good piece!
