I wanted to bid on this, but I'm glad you got it!
Please, more pictures when you have it in your hands.

@rick: I suspect this may be the case as well. The hilt looks like it ends prematurely. I'll post pics of the buttend once I recieve it.

@KuKulzA28: You know I wouldn't pass up the opportunity for a good pira!

Also, I've noticed that quite a bit of Piras (this one included) to be made of sandwich construction (steel in the centre, iron on either side). To me this seems to be the only method of construction in pira blades aside from monosteel in newer ones. Have there been any different examples? like patterned blades or twistcore, or did the Yakan produce exclusively sandwich construction blades?
