Hello, my name is Emanuel and I am a flyssa addict

[Lew]

Sweeet! Could be the forerunner of the modern wedding nimcha?

[Emanuel]

Love the blade! The handle and guard are indeed quite like the wedding nimcha.

We've seen examples of curved blades before - I freaked out

I just received flyssa #4. I'll post pics soon.

[kronckew]

while my addiction is not as great as yours, i still love my smaller flyssas.
nice to see another curved one...

mine:

[Battara]

First it was the dha freaks and now the flyssa freaks!!! !!!!( ).

But seriously folks nice blade work on the flyssas and nice carvings on the scabbards. So much variety.

[Emanuel]

I...er...got another one...

Here's #5, 41" (104cm) blade, 46" (117cm) overall.
Beefy handle like the first one in the pic in the first post, with a bit of variation to the scroll-work.

I'll soon have the pics of the flyssa in Madrid's Real Armeria, dated 1827, for comparison.

"Hello, my name is Emanuel and I am a flyssa addict"

And the rehab group answers: "Hi Emanuel"

Geez...LOL, so we are in a circle introducing ourselves and stating our addiction/affection huh?

Love the title, Emanuel

Thanks for sharing the interesting Flyssa Careful...it might prove to be contagious addiction!

Amazed at the long blades and just a one hand grip. Wicked thrusting point, and belly at towards the end to help accelerate the mass with slashing.

And Battara, who you calling a Dha Freak!?!?!?

Okay ...I confess as well....if I don't get my daily dha fix...ie at least look at my bladed beauties, I get a little "Edgy" Ohhhh...that was a bad one

Good thing too with my new job is I get home before the wife...so I can put any new acquisitions in "protective custody"

HOLY SMOKES Emanuel, congrats, what a beauty!!! I would never have known...does it have a practical feel or do you think it is like some Navaja, made to display the masters ability in manufacture or processional in nature like some of the oversized swords seen in the hands of entourage in SEA.

Emanuel, Don't talk to this Gavin guy...like a drug dealer, he will try to tempt you with beautiful sharp pointy things.

But, I guess the same could be said for all of us...tempting and suporting each other all along the way Hahaha Cheers to EAAF!
