My small collection and a question.

moose · 19th May 2006, 03:59 AM

Don't mean to hijack the thread but I haven't posted in a year. Found this thread while searching some posts.

I also study JKD and Doce Pares escrima. My school's linage is through Richard, he came out last year.
I'm really pumped because Cacoy Canete is flying in tommorrow night for a semi private seminar Saturday.

Very exciting for me. I've been waiting for two years for this to come together. So I've pulled out the PI stuff and wiped them down..did some vinegar etching etc. Hopped on the forum and reread some old posts...just to see if any questions to ask him would come to mind.

Plan on showing him some of my collection, asking some questions etc. I've heard his Espada y Daga is some of the best.

Again, I apologize for straying off topic,

moose (very excited in Mich.)

Michael,
Thanks for the guidance. Lake Tobo seems to be a very interesting place.

Moose,
Have a great time. Cacoy is coming out here in June for the annual instructors conference at the IMB Academy

.

Thanks,

Fj,

Yes, you might see my sifu out there (Eric Smith) if he can swing it.
I didn't mention it but Prof. Walt Hartenburg (sp?) is coming up from Indiana also this weekend to see Cacoy. If we had Richard too it would be a "Trifecta" for my style.
That would be awesome. The big three all in the house at once.

thanks,
moose

VVV WAS RIGHT ON ON THE SWORD THE CARVING ON HANDLE AND SCABBARD IS DEFINITELY BATACK. THEY WERE GREAT TRADERS AND THEIR OUTPOSTS AND INFLUENCE IS ALL OVER A WIDE AREA IN THAT PART OF THE WORLD. I HAVE NO KNOWLEGE OF WHERE THIS TYPE OF ITEM IS BEING MADE BUT AS VVV SAID SUMATRA IS A GOOD POSSIBILITY. I HAVE SEEN THIS TYPE OF WORK FOR SALE IN BALI WHICH IS A GOOD MARKET AND DRAWS FROM THE REST OF INDONESIA. I HAVE NEVER HAD THE PLEASURE OF VISITING SUMATRA BUT HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO.

MOOSE GOOD TO HEAR FROM YA, ITS ALWAYS A PLEASURE TO SEE SOMEONE INTERESTED AND EXCITED ABOUT LEARNING REGARDLESS IF ITS COLLECTING OR MARTIAL ARTS.

Welcome, nice collection, can we get closeups of the Moro spearheads?
btw is that a dog brother connection to your handle?

Hi MABAGANI,

Here are some closeups of the spears. I believe that spears 1-3 are moro. I do not know what spear #4 is, but I like it anyway. i will also try to take some better pictures showing grain structure if I can.

My handle is from an apache knife fighting group called ghostdogs. I have heard of the dog brothers and was at their fall gathering. I live in the Los Angeles (southbay) area close to where they are.

Best Regards
