it arrived,

light at 91 grams, 30 cm. long, 2 cm. thick, 'blade' 4 cm. wide. no holes. grip area roughly 9 c. long, pommel adds another 4 cm. grip x-section is a rounded 2cm. x 2.5 cm. 'blade' x-section is lenticular with a distinct edge both sides.

feels mode like a dagger than a tool. not a 'pounder', more a 'thruster'. feels 'right' - tho right for what i am not sure.

came with a nice tiki, a touristy boat & teeny paddle (missing two thwarts), a blonde narrow 'tray' of some sort - what it was to hold unknown, and a 34 cm. patu carved one side, plain pommel.'tray' is stamped 'carved in rotorua new zealand'. other 4 items are not stamped or labelled.
