Hello,
Nice kaskara. The blade is not made from shear steel but purposely pattern welded. Here are two links to 19th century German sabres with "damascus" blades. Seems to have been a fashion at the time. http://vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=15333 http://vikingsword.com/vb/showthread.php?t=12784 Emanuel |

Damascus Kaskara
Emanuel: Thank you for the links. This clears up some questions that i had.
For sure i knew it was a true layer-weld on this kaskara and the other one that i posted. I just didn't know where these blades would have been made. Thanks again........Dave. |
