Zartane,

Nechesh is completely right.
For the blade to compare look some time at ebay. You will find plenty of them. Or just go to flee markets or oriental markets here in Holland. How many of those blades do you want??? They are avaible in the quality you showed us, but also better and worse.

The blade is nice black colored. Just believe what Nechesh told you, because you will remove the black in the pineapple juice. If you don't believe it try with a slice lemon and rubb the peksi. The black color is gone very fast and you see the white metal. On the peksi it is not such a problem because you can hide that with an ukiran. But don't use the ivory one. That one should dress a real fine keris.
