I find disposable income to be the biggest and best limiter on my collection. Of course the wife and kids can kinda get in the way also. Baby needs a new pair of shoes!

Spunjer,

Beautiful blade, love the ganja being pattern welded. Is it a rehilt? The style of the handle looks to be of the 18th century type. The blade to me looks "newer", more 19th than 18th.

Yes, your read correctly. I have several of the archaic style blades. They almost seem like toys they are so small. In fact I have a large budik that is the same size if not a bit bigger then...

I agree with Jose on this. It would appear to be a re-hilt. But I suspect not very recent. The silver wire weave is beautiful. The piece is top-notch, Rick you been holding out on us? :D Why I...

You are spot on, for the reason for Pattern Welding. The history of it is nicely delt with in Manfred Sachse's book referenced in the original post. It is still costly which was what I was...
