Rick,
In general just the first four inches from the hilt as a whole I find interesting and unusual, the "fullers" the shapes, dips and curves.
I think for me, differentiating pamor or the subtle luks is beyond my understandings to be able to grasp fully,
but I am willing to listen if the information can be offered as it would be interesting to know and it would offer points of reference for my own readings when time permits. Others might also want to know these technical aspects of this piece
Best
Gav
