Now that's a Seax! Both nice today. First I've heard of the Limbuwan Tribe, might have to look that up, sounds interesting.
 
That seax is incredible. Kumar knows how to make them. I have one of his from about 15 years ago. His craftsmanship has only gotten better. I can't swing it today, but I'm hoping to have a few nickles set aside for the next one that shows up. The Seax, as far as how the kamis make them, really would benefit from a bit more blade length like this. The 14" versions are just a bit handle heavy. This one would whistle through the air if wielded by a strong enough arm and strike with authority.

Oh and I love how clean and minimal that bolster is. Great job, Kumar:)
 
Thats a sexy Seax alright! Yeah Steely I notice Kumar has been using minimal habaki lately. I like it too.

Bawanna I think the Limbuwan lived with or near the Rai if I remember correctly. Maybe they were in the next valley? Just thought id straighten things out for ya:D
 
Those are nice! I especially like the Seax. Wish I had the cash. . . . .
