It's a kukri with a falcata handle, IMHO. But aside from nitpicking, you are sure making some excellent big blades. This one must be a heck'ofa chopper!

Thanks guys for your comments. Thought I would throw this picture in to show that falcatas come in many different blade styles. Although this one does resemble the kukri, it is a falcata.

The customer that designed this one, is a professor in Germany, who teaches ancient warfare.

Thanks again. It is a pretty good chopper. Very front heavy.
