Ok, just to get the ball rolling:

19th c. Samal warrior's barung (minute crest on pommel, regular silver ferrule+sleeve):
overall length 53.8 cm (21.2 inches)
blade length 38.3 cm (15.1)
point of balance 9.6 cm from hilt (3.8)
overall weight 644 g (1p 6oz)


Quote:
Am really keen on the point of balance info or what would best characterise the handling aspect of the blade.
One of the faster barung I've handled - still these are blades to follow the flow with...

Regards,
Kai
