Default THANKS

Double Edge;
Thanks for the link. Ric wootz sure looks good to me, it has the same pattern as the wootz I have (Pendray & Oriental Arms ) woots blades.


Jeff D.
Now that is one long posting! thank you
I should answer those folks as I have one of those pictured ingots of wootz from Oriental Arms. Have a bar from them also.
Now the BIG question/comment is that I had a very large bar of wootz from the Alwar Armory in India with inscriptions on the ingot, I had Al Pendray make a Bowie our of half of it which is a companion of one of Al's own wootz Bowie he also made for me (check the Mug posting and take a look)
I had no problem in having it heated and beated by Al, into a Bowie.
From the information I have is that the Indian Government has stopped exportation of such ingots. Mine came from Europe via Oriental Arms.
I plan to keep the two remaining wootz ingots as they are and not make a blade from them.
Thanks again guys
