Piso Halasan?

Thanks for the answer Ben,
I'm anxious to receive it and have a good look at it, but in your experience, how are the blades on these tourist examples? Is the steel/metal descent or generally of poor quality?
The examples in the catalogue all seem of very high quality - or at least use expensive materials. Any pictures of simpler, common variety?

I'll certainly keep your advice in mind for future purchases.
Regards,
Emanuel
