Hi Guys,
Received this sword recently believe it to be a Dha. It measures 86cm in length and the blade is 14mm thick at the hilt end tapering down in thickness towards the rounded tip. The blade also increases in width from 28mm at the hilt end to 40mm at the tip. Unfortunately there is no scabbard and it looks like the top of the hilt top is missing. There are two surprises for me with this sword. Firstly the balance and handling, it feels very much like a japanese wakizashi in the hand even though it has the appearance of a chopper and secondly the spatula type rounded tip, at first I thought it was a cut down but on closer examination I believe this is not the case. Comments both positive and negative appreciated as always. Taff |
