Default Ethnographical weapons re-interpretated

Gentlemen,

This is another topic I am interested in obtaining your views as I understand that most of you are collectors of authentic ethnographical weapons.

As a designer, I do often feel the urge to apply my own view on things, be it graphic design, interiors, jewelry, or in this case weapons. This is a natural impulse in me based on one of my ways of perceiving things.

This being said, I would like to hear your views on the re-interpretation of this dha





The review is here: http://www.arscives.com/bladesign/newdhareview.htm

My question is how do you accept a contemporary (and exogenal to the original source) interpretation of a sword that is originally ethnographical but is viewed from the outside and made from the outside?
In other words, would you consider that in the globalized world of today is it better to keep the tradition alive in a continuous repetitive process that is outdated in time or would you think that tradition is also part of the evolutionary process?

Thank you
Best regards,
Antonio Cejunior
