A Kris-Tanto or hybridation as an answer

ANTONIO IS MOTIVATED BY A SEARCH FOR NEW IDEAS NOT THE AMASSING OF A COLLECTION OF OLD FORMS AS WE ARE. I FIND HIS IDEAS AND DRIVE INTERESTING AND HAVE NO PROBLEM UNDERSTANDING THEM OR SEEING THEM ON THIS FORUM. AS MONTY PHYTHONS FLYING CIRCUS SAID "AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT"!

TO BORROW FROM OTHER FORMS IS THE ONLY CHOICE AS FINDING SOMETHING THAT HAS NEVER BEEN DONE ANYWHERE THAT IS STILL FUNCTIONAL WOULD ALMOST BE IMPOSSIBLE TO DO. PERSONALLY I FIND A PURE JAPANESE FORM MORE ASTHETICALLY PLEASING ,BUT DO FIND IT INTERESTING TO SEE THE KNIFE AND THE IDEAS BEHIND ITS CREATION. THANKS ANTONIO

FOR FUN I WILL NOW CREATE TWO NEW FORMS OF PHILIPPINO MONSTER HEAD BOLO'S

THE FIRST WILL BE FOR REPUBLICANS IT WILL HAVE A BLADE AND SCABBARD SHAPED LIKE A DOLLAR SIGN AND THE MONSTER HEAD WILL BE HILLARY

THE SECOND WILL BE FOR DEMOCRATS ITS BLADE AND SCABBARD WILL BE SHAPPED LIKE A PEACE SIGN AND SAY END THE WAR NOW THE MONSTER HEAD OF COURSE WILL BE GEORGE BUSH.

I HOPE THIS WILL BE TAKEN AS INTENDED AND NOT OFFEND, ITS DIFFICULT TO MAKE POLITICAL JOKES UNLESS YOU ARE JAY LENNO.

I PERSONALLY CONSIDER SWORDS OR FANCY DAGGERS MADE TODAY THAT ARE NOT MADE FOR ACTUAL USE AS ART. THOSE MADE FOR USE ARE MOSTLY TOOLS AND ONLY BECOME WEAPONS NOW IF USED BY THE MILITARY, GANGS OR CRIMINALS. EVEN THOSE USED FOR MARTIAL ART PRACTICE ARE MORE OF A TOOL AS WE DON'T PLAN TO ACTUALLY GO OUT FOR A SWORD FIGHT IN OUR SOCIETY THESE DAYS.

ANTONIO FEEL FREE TO USE THESE DESIGN IF YOU WISH

THEY COME FROM MY DEMENTED SCHOOL OF DESIGN

Can become either a sign post or a hitching post.

I applaud the making of new forms; I compose music in the new "Indian Maqam" form, a form that arises from both classical and folk traditions, but that has the dynamism of rock 'n roll.

I also treasure the classics of the past, the music that came from millennia ago, and do my part to preserve classics in as much of their pristine original form as I can.

In the words of a song sung by my daughter in third grade:

"Make new friends,
But keep the old;
One is silver,
The other is gold."

Or, as Chairman Mao said:

"Let a hundred flowers bloom, let a thousand schools of thought contend"
