Just a new takouba

Hi Iain

Nice sword, I like the clean lines and form. Is the blade made of imported sheet iron or locally made ?

Regards.

Good question, the surface texture is quite odd on most of these wide blades and unlike other blades I've found. A lot of surface pitting is usual. Frankly I'm not 100% sure of the steel source. Local I would have guessed but I could be wrong!
