13” Wandy

Weird coincidence... just came home with a 13” Wandy and saw the post from lucentcrow. His looks older to me but mine does have solid bolsters, d-stamp, etc ... it’s peeking pretty bad

Re: another ‘no bottom bolster’

Does it seem like that blade could have been an altered kris? I can't figure out how else it could look like that with that diagonal line on the left above the tang. I see what you mean. The blade looks altered to me but seems to have too much meat left to have been cut down from a kris. There is a...
