I bought three blades from Nene Tortal's smiths for the same price as Top Prado's one ginunting so I guess I'll have to wait till it gets here to see whether or not it was worth it.

Thanks for sharing pepperskull. I was actually looking forward to your post. Funny cause I actually thought you might have ordered one as well. haha I knew you also collected more recent blades. Please let me know what you think between the Top Prado's ginunting and the ones from Nene Tortal's smiths.

I am also looking forward to seeing more offered by Top Prado and the S-guard.

Just to add these images here for reference. I ran across an old post from 2009, and it looks like the s-guard and the scabbard was also offered at one time.

I opted out of the original blade purchase to wait for the ginunting run with an s-guard. Down payment has been made and my Ginunting from Top Prado's shop should be ready within a month.

My Dekiti Tirsia ginunting is already made, but is having some issues getting to me though. A lot of red tape and permits on Tuhon Nene's end is apparently needed to send it from Bacolod. The middle man I'm working with is helping Tuhon Nene because they are sending more blades to more people as well.
