Hey Danny, next time you feel the the urge to throw away a blade with a damaged pesi please send it to me instead. PM me and i'll send you my mailing address.

Hi David,

okey next time i wiil let you know

Any idea about this blade?

Other than to say it's origins seem Javanese to me i wouldn't really hazard a guess. I will give you a couple of hints that might help others make their judgements. Use a neutral, unpatterned cloth for your background. Try to shoot directly above to blade so that we can see as true a perspective of the blade as possible. Also a shot of the bottom of the gonjo shot down the pesi might provide a helpful indicator.

The blade seems to be heavily shortened. It was probably a good looking blade, with graceful luk.

Hi Gustav,

I already had the idea that there was someting with this one.

But are you sure its shortend ? why do you think that ?

David , thanks for the tip,s

Hallo Danny,

just the proportion between the size of sorsoran and the length of the blade is disturbed, the last luk is pointing outwards, the workmanship of the last luk is very strange compare to the rest in my eyes.
