Here are a few more pics. The blade is about 22 inches long and is pattern welded but the hilt is full size and my big hand fits rather comfortably in it.

I like this Tulwar Lew. By saying that the hilt is 'full size' you seem to suggest that the blade is ...deficient.
Its shortness doesn't retract from its functionality though, try fighting with a full sized Tulwar in a narrow passage or restricted space  So SIZE does matter......but LARGE is not always good

What I mean is the hilt is full size made for an adult. I first thought it may have been a boys sword but after handling it I know it is a man's sword with a stout blade it is beautifully balanced and very quick in the hand. Maybe this was a back up sword or possibly some type of boarding sword for a naval warrior. I am also thinking it could be a type of court sword it has less of an opposing presence than a full size tulwar? Lew Last edited by LOUIEBLADES; 6th August 2007 at 05:00 PM. |
