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,

Any idea about this blade?

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.
