Thanks for these excellent samples! I'm curious about the first one, especially since hilt seems polygonal from the current angle. I like it!

Yes, that's an interesting one, also with the rather short extension. Seems you also got another nice garab - let me know whenever you decide to let either go, please.

The other pira exhibits a quite similar curved blade as the rough one posted above by Xas!

BTW, welcome to the forum!

Regards,
Kai
