When I bought this dagger it was very polihed but I thought I saw patterns in the steel. I etched and hoped for wootz, it was not. Even so I really like the pattern and how it transfers to the T-spine.

Wow!!
The blade looks like Bali pamor. What did you etch it with? Stunning. Thank you. |

The scabbard is velvet on wood.
I etched with ferric cloride first and polished it. Then I did a final etch with hot instant coffe (very, very, VERY strong)for 30 minutes. I have not gotten that to work on wootz sadly. |

like this one, with a ''double blade'' here a decorative kard with hidden blade, too fancy and a little toy-like but the damas seems to be real |
