By rebating I meant dulling one edge as a work/camp knife. The blade is unsuitable for that job as it is. My guess from looking at the knife and scabbard is that it may have been taken out of its...

In your top photo of the blade the wootz pattern seems to fade out. Is this because you didn't etch that far and that's the reason? Or could it be a scarf weld perhaps?

The last picture in your first post looks pretty wootzy. :)
The stag grips seem to be 'out of culture' and a material I haven't seen used before on a shamshir.

I see a piso podang and some interesting spears; not to mention some badiks.
