Interesting Piso Podang With Chinese Style Blade
Piso podangs with straight blades tend to be a little harder to come by, but this one struck me as especially unique owing to the somewhat unusually long length and style of the blade.
It is either a crudish Chinese jian blade, or more likely a Batak attempt to mimic one. The pattern welding technique is not unknown among piso podangs, but this one appears quite well done by comparison. Last edited by CharlesS; 19th October 2008 at 05:31 PM. |
