What? Me posting something other than a takouba?
I'm sure it will not stay with me long (takouba are just so addicting), but I'm enjoying handling something a little different.
It needs a bit of a clean obviously, but I'm jet lagged and sitting around the house late at night, so thought I'd just throw it up as is.
I would assume from the guard and hilt that the piece would be Luzon or Visayan?
Rather heavy for its size the spine is almost 1cm (4/10s in.) thick at the base and the overall length 81cm (32 in.) Feels like it would be a very capable chopper in the right hands.
Comments, thoughts, all much appreciated.
