sword id requested

Hi again RhysMichael,
Thanks for the id of kalasan. I did a forum search and that's what the blade appears to be. I also noticed that my blade is set deeper in the hilt than the others I saw in the archive so it's quite possible that the hilt isn't original to the blade. The blade is a bit loose in the hilt so perhaps I'll pull it out a bit and see how it looks then. The hilt fits around the tang closely, is very well carved and is of nicely figured wood so if it is a replacement, it was done with care.
Sincerely,
RobT
