SUCH A BEAUTIFUL HANDLE DESERVES A GOOD ANTIQUE BLADE IF POSSIBLE. IF SUCH A WORTHY BLADE CAN BE FOUND REMOUNT BUT I WOULD NOT PUT IN A MODERN MADE BLADE. JUST MY OPINION. I WISH YOU LUCK
THE DESIGN DOES REMIND ME OF THE SWORDS FROM CEYLON (SIRI LANKA) |

Thank you, guys!
My better half ain't gonna be happy : wootz blades do not come cheap:-) On the other hand, none of the Elgood's swords comes with a wootz blade. And I think Vandoo is right : Singhalese or Tamil. |
