In my dilettante opinion, the entire wide part of the blade below the gangja was formed from a separate piece and the original blade was inserted and forged there.
If that was the case, I see no reason to see the holes in the original blade. No? Also, I do not see the bracket; rather, it is a fuller, and it stops suddenly ~ 1/5 of the way from the gangya. That's one of the reasons I suggest the existence of a separate thick piece where the blade was inserted. Last edited by ariel; 25th December 2012 at 02:38 PM. |

I like it.. But maybe not a trade blade? The holes could have fillers (silver/gold etc) I just cant see how the wide area is created without seeing any forge lines or the blade becoming slimmer there due to flattening that area.
