This is one I just finished up for my kali instructor out here in Cali. The first of hopefully many. Its an 0-1 blade total legnth 17 7/8" heavy sculpting on the handle influenced by traditional filipino weapon design. Full convex grind, a serious chopping and slashing weapon.

When I was desinging it I made sure to keep the tip close to the centerline of the handle that way thrusts are easly done. The large recurve/belly makes the slashing as effective as possible, it also helps in the chopping power.
