Hey Danny, next time you feel the the urge to throw away a blade with a damaged pesi please send it to me instead. PM me and i'll send you my mailing address.

Hi David,

okey next time i wiil let you know

Any idea about this blade?

[David]

Other than to say it's origins seem Javanese to me i wouldn't really hazard a guess. I will give you a couple of hints that might help others make their judgements. Use a neutral, unpatterned cloth for your background. Try to shoot directly above to blade so that we can see as true a perspective of the blade as possible. Also a shot of the bottom of the gonjo shot down the pesi might provide a helpful indicator.

The blade seems to be heavily shortened. It was probably a good looking blade, with graceful luk.

Hi Gustav,

I already had the idea that there was someting with this one.

But are you sure its shortend ? why do you think that ?


David , thanks for the tip,s
