lol, i'm pretty sure this was a typo, charles coz i know you're not referring to the water spinach:

so now you're making me crave for kangkung and not a place to buy the darn thing around here, lol

I also handled Artzi's strange sword when in Baltimore and agree with Charles.
It's much to light and slim to be either a bangkris or a krikung.
Here is an example of a "typical" bangkris.

Kai, I think there already is a thread somewhere on my strange sword from Artzi that you reposted.

That is one odd and awesome piece Michael. Is that as good a cleaver as it looks, or is it a little odd to handle?

[VVV]

Which one of them?

The bangkris is a bit top heavy but OK for a good blow.
The Mindanao cleaver is not so well balanced (maybe because my hands don't fit the handle very well?).

LOL! I got a packet of Sinigang Soup Mix to go with that kangkung, if you ever find some.

haha, there's Bagoong (not Bangkung) available here, but no Kangkung

dunno if rick still has it, but he brought a pedangkris last feb. at the show. would be nice if he can post a pic of it...

Ron I was wondering, is your bangkung (not kangkung) from Palawan? The style of carving and blade look like it to me.

BTW - I do love spinach!

[Battara]

Oh yes, Kino, I love your bangkung (not spinach) and I enjoyed working on it.

[Cthulhu]

Some amazing bangkung in this thread. Beautiful examples, all.

Here's mine. The blade's quite pitted, but I suppose that's why I could afford it.

Hello Cthulhu,

nice complete example also when the blade is pitted, would be glad when I have such an example!

Ha!

Yes Ron, it was a typo and I'm a bad boy being a teacher who doesn't proofread! The time limit has elapsed for me to edit it. Thank God my students would never likely come near this site...they would love to catch me in any error!
