Great post. Maybe you can help me too. Can anyone translate this? I am not even sure I have the right side up!
Overall length with scabbard: 31”, w/o scabbard 29”, length of cutting edge: 22 1/2" These photos are not up to my normal standards. I took them with a cheap camera I keep in the car for emergencies. Last edited by dana_w; 29th November 2012 at 06:05 PM. Reason: Added Measurements |
