Amazing piece !!! I Love it !

Is the scabbard made of wootz ??

Wow!!
The blade looks like Bali pamor.
What did you etch it with?
Stunning.
Thank you.

The scabbard is velvet on wood.
I etched with ferric cloride first and polished it. Then I did a final etch with hot instant coffe (very, very, VERY strong)for 30 minutes.
I have not gotten that to work on wootz sadly.

On the pictures, I thought the scabbard was made of steel,

like this one, with a ''double blade''
here a decorative kard with hidden blade,
too fancy and a little toy-like but the damas seems to be real

That is indeed a beaut Rick. And extraordinary pamor pattern paired with an unusual patterned pendok. Love it!

It could be Unthuk Banyu Justy; my Western mind sees it as balls of string, and I have forgotten so much over the years. So many names and classifications for these patterns .
