Its been quite a while since I got this but I thought I should post some pictures (dedicated to westfork for explaining the confusing process). My apologies for lousy photography, I am ok with an SLR camera but I am still learning digital (on a free camera).

This TIBETAN SWORD is crafted by Royal Kami Bura with a most unusual handle. It is is overall 28 1/4" weights 39 oz. and has a spine of 3/8" with regular steel guard. THE UNUSUAL HANDLE IS DRAGON CARVED ON BUFFALO HORN.

The handle is a full 10" long. There is also some nice carving on the top of the guard.

This one is just for scale, the blow gun is 1m (and alot of fun), unfortunatly I couldnt fit the full size 2-3m blow guns in my bag and shipping from the amazon is expensive.

Nice pictures Grob. Those Tibetan Swords are sweet. This is an interesting one with its long handle in relation to its short length. Danny in Japan had one made that took this trait to an extreme. Thanks for sharing.
