Wootz kindjal - have you ever seen?

TVV · 1st April 2010, 07:01 AM

Personally, I would not be disappointed at all if it turns out to be wootz (naturally). But bladesmiths that I have shown the dagger to tend to think otherwise. Their opinion of course is just that - an opinion, and the opinion of collectors such as Rick and Alex, who have handled a great number of wootz blades is probably more important here.

As of now, I am not convinced one way or another, but it does not really bother me, since to me a nice blade is a nice blade, wootz or pattern welded.

Regards,
Teodor
