Hi Rivkin,

Number 1: is an acid etched pattern.
Number 2: has an acid etch I can't tell from the picture if this is on a mechanical or wootz damascus, closer pictures are needed.
Number 3: is not a true damascus (ie. wootz) but is a mechanical damascus (layered steel).

aren't the 1st two photos the same sword? Looks like a faked pattern to me.
