My old m43 got a new convex edge put on it by David Creger. It can bite again.

Also just received a new Visayan barong from TFW. I thought the M43 was big, this thing makes it look and feel smaller!

Nice M43! Is that a deep fuller where the sword of shiva is supposed to be? That is sweet! and that Barong...Wow. I need to get me one of them modern ones. Yowwwie!
Tell me thats a 15" M43 please. Otherwise that Barong is a monster.

ND-The Visayan has an 18"+ blade, so it's a big one.
 
18" blade or 18" overall length?

That's 18" blade, 25" OAL. The Visayan Barong is a very impressive blade and I've been meaning to get one from TFW, but it's not top of my list. I'd rather spend my money on blades from Nepal, to help with earthquake relief.

It is an impressive blade. I agree but the one traditional Moro barong I have to say has the same soul of any HI blade as well. I wish I knew who made it. I think the one thing I like about HI is that the craftsmen are personally identified on each piece and can be traced back to not only the maker but maybe even a little history about his family etc. via the forums. Thats whats special about HI. I doubt this history will ever be lost long as we keep doing our thing.

Theres lots of soul in this world and here is some next to my 25" Sirupati. This thing is magical in balance and form and almost the 25". Im pretty sure ill end up getting that Visayan piece as it is very cool.
 
Yes, the Visayan Barong is 25" overall so it feels more like a short sword to me.

Impressive blade. I may get their Moro Barong later.
