Batak Sword

David · 26th December 2006, 09:04 PM

Hi Bill. Very nice sword. I have seen a number of these presented on eBay lately, so my question is this: Is this really one of these swords that would be considered too powerful to keep in ones house, or is it a finely made sword (i love the carvings) in a traditional style, but meant for import? While i like this blade i don't get the impression that it was ever used in Batak magic as the name implies.Mind you that's just a hunch and i know nothing about these swords (that's why i ask) or Batak culture particularly.
