Oops. Emptied out now.


Thanks again, y'all, for all the info. Very informative. I'll clean the Pala and post some new photos when it arrives. I paid an unbelieveably LOW price for it. A 19c sheffield hunting knife i was initially interested in, a few lots before it went for an unbelieveably HIGH price, so i was surprised the yat (pala) didn't even have a reserve and only one other bidder before me. Win some, lose some. I won this time

Yes, it is a specific item that has a very tight and narow collectors circle but in that circle it is worth very much!
You scored very good!

May I inquire about my Yatagan; please excuse if I am interrupting the thread.

The pattern in the steel has me quite confused. Serdar, have you ever seen a Yat blade with this type of forging?
Parts of the surface seem almost crystallized.

I have never seen a blade like this; then again, I don't get out much.

Any input by anyone would be much appreciated.
