    Been meaning to post his for a couple weeks and finally remembered to do it.

    I picked this up at an estate sale for $20. The blade is 15" from top to bottom and 13" wide. Overall length from the tip of the blade to the base of the handle is 41". The handle is steel wrapped in leather. It weighs about 15lbs and is as sharp as a good hunting knife. If nothing else it should make a good zombie slayer. :)

    It was just so cool looking I had to bid on it. I was quite surprised when my $20 bid was the end of the line. It will never see wood. I'm trying to talk AuntJoe into letting me hang it over the fireplace. That's not going so well.
