Btw, the blade is extraordinary sharp. All I can say is that the blade looks natural. On a fast view one might think, it is a snake. Even the pamor looks more like a feather or like a fossile than steel.
After a lot of work, the dress is just amazing, very dark with a reddish shine.
The overall picture with the hilt orientated in wrong direction is from the seller.
