Shi-Hutu Sword
Hi guys, this is arrived today, a nice Shi-Hutu sword. The blade is very thick: 1 cm. The handle was broken off and then it was fixed with some kind of resin and a strip of woven.
P.S. Tim, this is a sword!!

Thank you Lew, i have watched better the handle and in origin there was some kind of wire near the blade, maybe you can see the impression on wood on the third pics from above.

Flavio
The wrapping on the hilt seems to be very old canvas and looks like an old tribal repair I also see some old nalis in the hilt. It's still a nice example of a rare sword. Congrats. Lew |

Hi Lew,
Here is my Shi-sword. It has a very strong (and sharp) blade. The sheath is covered with very fine copper wire. The strap is made of leather. Length : 43,5 cm.
