Interesting , how many have you seen ?

Now native blades do look for the most part cruder than the trade blades used .

One could transport a long Kaskara on one's back but it could never be drawn from that position ; you would need an arm five feet long .

Is it just the native blade that puts you off or is it the leather wrap on the hilt also ?
