I still don't know what the tsuba says but have captured a photo of the opposite side. It's in black iron. A warrior in shamanic excess. Enjoy.

Shock and awe.

Not far from the truth..... as far as my knowledge goes one reason of the waves was a show of status.  A wavy blade was also considered "alive" as well as delivering a deeper cut.  Wavy blades existed in European blades as well most famously with the Flamberge.  The Flamberge was a two handed sword with a wavy blade generally used by the Landsknechts, badass German mercs.  The theory is the wavy blade allowed them to better bite into Pikes and turn them to the side (or cut them which is controversial).

They're so hard (AUS 10), they don't ever need sharpening.

Nice knives, Mercury

Thanks!

* Pic Heavy*


My knife collection has transformed a bit over the last year, given the last time I shared anything was last October  Roll Eyes  I don't have pics to show them all atm so I'll have to work on that.  This has really become my primary hobby and passion over the last two+ years now and I'm quite enjoying it.  All of my cutting tools are for use, we camp, hike, and kayak a lot as a family and do a lot of DIY projects and so there's good opportunity to put these to work.  It also means I've had to learn to sharpen which is a fun skill unto itself (mostly lol).

My Spyderco Manix 2 and Paramilitary 2 ...









Bestech Kendo and Muskie ...









My Cold Steel Pipe Hawk that I customized with wood burning, decorative brass nails and paracord wrap for overstrike protection and style points ha.







From top to bottom - Cudeman Sanabria, Condor Low Drag and Tops Brakimo ...











A snap shot of some of my hiking kit from our recent trip to Banff (which was pretty low key which we were thankful for).




Cheers.

Outstanding collection, Haz!  My brother has a Paramilitary 2 (loves it; so do I  Wink) and is always telling me how it's such a useful tool. 

You've also reminded me: I need to get one of those tactical axes as well.  For the zombie apocalypse  Wink
