Certainly a non traditional point you note but it does flow through there...and in all honesty, after seeing the thread surface again, I can say the photos do not do the piece justice..not in the slightest.

Sounds good Gav! Any idea of its weight & balance point?

I haven't weighed it J but the balance point is just in front of the handle.

And it does balance up on its cutting edge.

Always a nice touch! Shows symmetrical construction & a weighty hilt!
