I noticed the damage to the hilt.
Didn't think it would command such a pretty penny. Good news indeed. |

Amazing how in the last 5 years prices have begun rising a lot. Or maybe that's just my impression. I guess that's good news for those sitting on large collections, and bad news for those who wish they could. But that's how things usually go when prices rise.
 Talibong are nice blades... I don't see them making them like that no more

 Nice piece also. Do you guys think it commanded so much because it was a left hand version?  Lookin at that price, now I don't feel so bad about buying this one.  Thought I almost paid to much, but not near $800.
