Hello Congoblades, you have i really nice yaka sword! I never seen one with a so pointed tip, usually is more rounded like mine

Hi Freddy, I noticed on the scabbard of the Shi sword, a short 'protrusion' jutting out at 90 degrees. Do you know if it has a function.....was thinking it could be useful for 'hooking' shields.

This is not one of the thin blade types. This would pierce even the thickest armour of doubt. With a neat skull and face smashing pommel

Nice piece Tim, looks to be ideal in 'close quarter' combat

These handle in a very similar way as some dha.

My Shi sword only has a small protrusion

Hope I don't get a bad case of Shi protusion envy

Mine too has this piece and also the others seen on books. All have a hole so i think that is for a belt to hang the sword on shoulder or so

Hi Flavio, yours is a very nice one too, you are right about about the tip, the four exemples on mambele.be are also with a more rounded tip and shorter, mine is 71 cm.
