That is the point I make, those on my blade are part of a talismanic pamor, not a vice. I presented this image for comparison to those on the Tajong above. Gavin |

You have the right to disagree but I maintain my opinion that my blade was not made from a file or rasp and I have the advantage over you to have it in front of me, the pics cannot capture the details of the crisscross lines. And I have plenty of worn files and can make the difference in the pattern even if the old Indonesian files were probably more rustic.... It seems that we will not get a consensus on this subject and I will personally not comment it anymore ![]() Regards |

I understand your position on the chopper of yours. Have a look at this old knife, early 20th century Bhutan, from a file, I think I have another here to share too, but look close at the formation. This was a thick spine with good distal taper to a very hard and sharp edge...not the pattern, even after grinding to shape, the lines are retained throughout its surfaces. I am sure you've seen such things but for the discussion, I think the image is relevant. Gavin |

my comment wasn't meant in the direction to attack you in any manner. Sorry when it appeared like this. It was just my opinion and of course it is something different to hold it in hand or see it only by pictures. Regards, Detlef |

Perhaps I should not have included the image and details I did as the thread is about markings not pamor. In retrospect, to me, two vastly different things, one being manipulation of steel, the other an application of markings. The image I presented is the result of steel manipulation, however, it is I guess, still a good reference point. Gavin |
