What great and well done twist core!
This kind is usually the best type and masterfully done. Also it is usually found on older blades (like this one for example). Congratulations on a great piece! |

Hello Fernando,
Quote:
This really is a sweet kris! I am amazed how weak the contrast seems to be though - haven't seen such an example before. The twistcore is certainly done with iron alloys of different composition and it's kinda weird that the etch doesn't pick it up. Did you do some gentle repolishing before the etch? Considering the somewhat blotchy appearance of the steel core (slorok in Jawa parlor), I believe there is a chance that the etch did not work properly, possibly due to incomplete degreasing and perhaps polishing up with a power tool at the hands of an earlier owner? A perfect etch often needs several attempts. I agree that one wants to be very gentle with this beauty though!  Regards, Kai |

Agree with Kai in all points! Very nice kris and a shame that the twisted area don't show more contrast after etching.
Regards, Detlef |
