Faca de Ponta
I just bought this Faca de Ponta, I just couldnīt resist it so now I am just waiting for it to arrive so I can hold it in my hand....
I blame Sajen for it.... After seeing his fantastic collection of Faca de Ponta I also wanted at least a couple.... Here are the sellers pictures of it.... Best, Stefan |

I agree, truly stunning. But I ask, is this really a Faca de Ponta? All other examples I have seen have been single edged.
