Giant Tin Chirra

[haptagud]

Hello

I had some requests to post some photos of my Tin Chirra, so here they are.
Overall length --27''
Weight --70 oz
Spine thickness --5/8''
Carved satisal wood handle with white metal inlaid.

This is my first attempt at posting photos, so hopefully it will work.

For scale I threw in a HI bonecutter, a CS kukri and a 12" ruler.

Looks like it worked.

I am definitely happy with this acquisition. It is one solid blade with high a level of workmanship. Functional art, I guess.

Good gods....you just gave Crocodile Dundee an inferiority complex! You must have arms like Lou Ferrigno to wield that! What a fantastic blade... with amazing workmanship. Is this a recent acquisition, or something you've had for awhile?

Purchased it about a month ago. Gravity pretty much takes care of the swing, stopping it mid swing is the challenging part. I pretty much just make sure I am well out of it's path.
