another twist-core

[DaveS]

Here is another twist-core i picked up a few years back. This is the
second one i have seen with an offset garuda style pommel. The blade is
19 inches long, 25 inches overall. The pattern is exactly the same on both
sides. No scabbard. Some patterns like this seem to be etched in,while
others seem to look like threads of nickel like an Indo-kris. has anyone ever
figured out how these are done????.......Dave.
