Spunjer:
Hardened edges -- yes, very common. Laminated blades -- I haven't etched enough Visayan blades to answer how commonly they may be laminated, but my impression is that laminated (pattern-welded) blades are much less common than blades of homogenous steel with an inserted or tempered hardened edge. Zel probably has the best handle on this question. Ian. |
