Comments on the forging of the blade ....

I was looking at that one, drooling like an idiot

Magnificent piece, and with pattern welded blade no less. It's been mentioned before that some flyssa had such blades and maybe it's actually a common trait? I never thought to check the blade on mine.

Interesting that the decorative scheme on this one is somewhat subdued; no scrolls and creepers.

When I'll be rich I'll have a room full of these, I'm talking wall to wall

Great

.
I never thaught that blade steel on (some of) these pieces would be so much worked up.
But i see that the price was also worked up

Pricey, yes, but then how many of these flyssa do you see with laminated steel - this is the only one I have seen so far....

Quite right

I also didn't think this over priced, laminated blade in fabulous condition, I raved about this piece to my wife and she (unknown to me ) was going to bid for it, but it went above what she thought reasonable.....yes I am a lucky guy

But I am going to have to explain to her that her 'reasonable' isn't high enough
