Default Konda sword interpretation

I have found this Konda sword



a sort of interpretation of the "classic" Konda


Surprising isn'it ?

Thumbs up good find

Very nice, Luc. Perhaps this piece was 'altered' due to some kind of damage to one side of the blade.

Here's another 'interpretation'

I thought like you Freedy, a sort of "re-forging", but I saw 2 pieces like that.
Maybe the blacksmith has played with the form ?
A lot of Konda sword seems to come from the basic form .
