Two Interesting Barongs

Makes perfect sense Spunjer. Interesting how the two shandigans have two very different perspectives on how much could be shaved off the blade!!

Thanks for the input.

Okay, just wow!

Somewhat the same concept as having a hollow ground blade?
Great pieces.
The scabbards aren't too shabby either, good work. Did you make them?

I did not make the scabbards, Kino, but I am sure the forumite that did will be pleased to hear that!

Anyone have any idea about the origin of the barong with floral hilt? I am assuming the octagonal shape would be a clue and I think perhaps Tausig, but am not sure....
