Well I have got one of this type of sword now
![]() I am very happy with it for the price. Makes me think of the MGM film "WATUSI" that thrilled me as a young boy. I would like to compere this blade to others? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by Tim Simmons; 17th May 2007 at 02:50 PM. |

It's about time you picked one of these up Favio and I were feeling kind of guilty that we both had one and you didn't. ![]() ![]() ![]() Lew |

You must first chant the special Shi sword mantra and have a lot of patience and a bit of luck before you can get one of these. ![]() ![]() Lew |

Thanks Lew and Flavio,
The version I have seems to have a more broad blade. Clearly there is wide regional variation. One could argue that between these examples the link is only really in the scabbard configuration. How extensive is this form, the Nord Kivu and Sud Kivu provinces of DRC, Rwanda, even Tanzania. What about the southern borders Zambia and Shona/Zimbabwe. Questions the answer must be out there. |
