The talisman is one of my all-time favourites, as was Ivanhoe. There was a movie in the mid-1950's that had the silk scarf scene in it...Richard and the crusaders. A bad adaptation of the book.

Nice Panabas Xas. I like the form of it, especially the handle with that piece of iron (?), protruding from the end and with those native repairs.

Here’s one that has a similar blade profile. It doesn’t have the acute distal taper as yours so it lacks the flexibility that you describe.

Great blade sir! That seems to be a brother-blade of mine =) I'm positing it's from the same era. Hoping I would come across another one like that, it's really well-preserved!
