The peudeung is so beautifully mounted, and clearly a high status piece. May I ask if the blade is sturdier and more substantial than what is often seen on these??

Hi - it is the same type of blade. Better made than most and not imported but locally made with layered steel. But as most thin and very flexible - I think it is just belongs to this type of sword.
