This sort of thing is most definitely not what I have any great regard for.

Unusual does not = good.
"Odd" combinations have been made in the past.
If they are newly made most collectors assume they are fake.
If they are old some collectors consider them to be valuable.
Maybe they are valuable.
But that is in the eye of the beholder.

I like the blade
