Hello Robert,

The thickness of the blade measured at the back/spine is 12 mm at the base and 4 mm at the tip.

The width of the blade is 32 mm at the base and 40 mm at the tip.

The bud is hardwood.

The blade is forged in one piece together with the hilt.
It is a heavy sword. considering that it has no point at all I get the feeling that it is made for sacrifice to be handled with two hands for killing animals / humans ?
