Alamang for discussion
I have bought this Alamang with horn handle and low grade silver fittings, the blade is fine laminated. 59,5 cm inside the sheat, blade 42,5 cm and 9 mm thick at the base. Your comments are very appreciated.

Not bad at all, IMHO.
 Are you sure the hilt is horn and not bone? It's hard to see on a picture and it could traditionally be both. Michael |
