I hope, these are unusual enough.
It's an old Kilij (wootz), a Saber from somewhere (laminated sheer steel, scarf welded, probably India) and a very beautiful Piso Gading (laminated sheer steel with inserted edge) in an early state of finish. All three blades are unfinished now, because they are long time projects, sorry. Roland |

Turkish ribbon
Two yataghans swords with blade forged in a pattern known as Turkish Ribbon. Several strips of twisted steel rods are forged together to produce this pattern. Usually the blade are forged from 4 - 5 strips. These rare exemplars are made from 6 and 7 strips of twisted steel.
