Why do some pulwars and Tulwars have sloppily and roughy cut fullers?
I would assume it’s because some smiths (such as individual smiths or those belonging to a small workshop) did not have the time nor the resources to practice cutting fullers precisely, and their main focus was to make good blades, and foreign aesthetic elements such as fullers thus took the back seat.
On the other hand smiths who belonged to large workshops or smiths who had well off patrons could afford to practice cutting fullers and other design elements finely and with precision perhaps?
