Uddha Sword

[tedwca]

I had always wanted one of these and on a recent trip to HI I saw one I had to have. It is the pointiest blade form HI with the possible exception of the seax.

Here's a few pics. It's about 100*F here so I didn't last very long in the heat or I would have done a bit better.

Nice Uddha Ted.
These are nice and pointy, but very beefy at the same time. But then I am pleased with just about anything with a chiruwa handle.

I like the uddha swords as well. They remind me of a larger version of those old old kitchen knives that have near triangular blades, a style that even crops up occasionally in medieval paintings now and then.

Good pictures, thank you Ted

Ted, is that the best you can do? Well it's outstanding! Love the uddha! Reminds me of a khyber knife, or salawar yataghan.

LOL, I finally figured out why the heat was bothering me so much(I'm usually good up until 112*F) It was something like 70% humidity. It's supposed to rain today, which is extremely rare in Sacramento in July. I had to wring my shirt out and it got to the point I was worried about water damage to the camera. I'll try to get some better pictures another time.

It does remind me of a khyber knife though.
