The beauty of patterns on steel

RSWORD · 31st December 2005, 11:09 PM

I enjoy blades that exhibit a pattern on the surface of the blade. Here are a few pictures to enjoy heading into the New Year.
1) An example of Indian pattern welding at its best
2) An example of Chinese pattern welding where the cutting edge is inserted in a body of pattern welded steel and heat treated with a nice undulating pattern at the edge
3) An interesting example of wootz where there are "stripes" across the body of the blade
4) An example of Persian wootz with vivid active pattern
5) An example of Persian wootz, ladder pattern, with a single "rung" being depicted
6) An example of Persian wootz of great clarity and boldness

Enjoy.

For those who are interested in kerises.
In the netherlands are always several kerises for sale.
But not everybody place the goods on ebay.
Curious whats goes around in our small country?
try www.veilingkijker.nl and type: keris or kris at the top.
you will see a list of all local selling.
I think i saw one of these pamors is for sale.

here some pictures of new but good pamor.
new keris with kul buntet and buntel-mayit.
I hope the photo will show the pamor miring ( standing )

You are right, the pattern adds to the pleasure.
