build your own far east sword
If you are interested in weapons of the Phillipines and the far east, I took the Toong Hammer forged Socket Billhook by Aranyik and used in to make a Thai Pra. I could just as easily made a Muslim Panabas type sword. The steel is hand forged and of good quality. The price is very reasonable. It was so easy to build, that for the cost of buying a Thai Pra, if you can find one to buy, you could have made 3 or 4 with what you paid for this billhook. I recommend this to any practitioner of martial arts.
