Nice shandigan, how pronounced is the raised edge in person? Does it feel very lively in the hand?

the shandigan is fairly pronounced. not as pronounced as my WWII 'guerilla' shandigan barong, but that one is a monster. i'll post pics of them side by side.
does it feel lively???? in the words of dr. frankenstein, "it is alive"!!!! when you pull it out of the sheath, it has a mind of its own. very balanced and wants guide you, not the other way around. direction changes are felt in the belly, not the tip. |

FEDERICO,
heres the pics. the 3rd one down is my WWII Guerilla Shandigan. the one below it is the Barong in this thread. the one at the very bottom is also a shandigan, but not as pronounced, it also has a chinese chopmark. |
