Hi Folks,
Just wanted to share a pair of pictures of the HI Kothimoda Uncle Bill had made up for me. These pictures were done with my macro lens, hence the slight curvature along the edges of the frame.
Though it may be an overused phrase regarding HI products and craftsmanship, truly "pictures do not do justice" to this beautiful work of art. One of the reasons I used the macro was to try and capture some of the intricate silverwork. And the scabbard do weigh some, too
The balance and feel of the blade is perfect, and as you can tell from the picture it's a thick, full blade. It would be a superb user, 'cept it's too pretty
For the moment it rests in an el cheapo glass lidded display case until more appropriate quarters can be built.
Frankly, when I ordered it I almost second-guessed myself and cancelled. It's expense and ornateness.. well, I don't own many things "just for show". This is a classy and elegant knife, well worth every dollar, and I'm glad I could get one while they were still available.
Thanks Uncle Bill
Nick
