Hi Flavio,
Nice solid hilt, not made for showing, but for using. When I look at the decoration on your blade, I get a funny feeling to be looking at a landscape, rather than at a decoration. Some mountains, and where the pass is, the sun is showing - I really don't know why I get this feeling.

Hi Jens, now that you say this, it's true that the decoration seems a landscape! Really nice
