I agree. Especially coftgari. Looks new in comparison to the blade. Based on pictures it is hard to tell if it's wootz or mechanical. Nice composite sword though:-) |

Yeah, the gold koftgari overlay art is new and the pearl handle is also new...but the blade is old.
Anyway good combination of handle, art and blade. |
