Default Blade

The blade itself is remarkable. This is a serious weapon! The thickness seems very unusual. Has anyone else seen a gunong with as robust a blade as this one?

Oh yes, the rest of the knife is … simply gorgeous.

Hi Ron,

send it to me! Congrats, very nice gunong, a real beauty! Never seen a blade with a fuller like this by a gunong.

Regards,
Detlef

Very, very nice Ron. Congratulations. Do you plan to etch that blade--looks like it has quite a lot of pattern to it.

Given the thickness of the blade at the handle and the way the fullers are oriented along with the tip and I wonder if this isn't a reshaped blade from another weapon? Lovely mounts and the etching could be revealing whether it was forged this way or cut down from something else.
