Default Hwi #1

Thanks!

The first of the Hwi. 68.5cm long, 55cm blade, 4mm thick at the base. Crocodile motif on both sides of the blade. Animal head pommel. An odd feature is the upturned shell shaped quillon, which gets in the way of the hand unless the sword is held with the wrist extended (perhaps not an issue when holding it up high?).
