Lovely!
The blades may be wootz. Did you consider trying to etch them? Norman's looks like a bichaq from the Balkans... I guess... |

Interesting. Beautiful knife (knives)!!! This response shows the limitation of analysis of an object from photography. The pictures appeared to have two light stripes running lengthwise on the blade which made me guess that it was composed of twisted rods welded together. So, either an optical illusion or a slight rub in the scabbard?

I know that the blade is wootz. He had already been etch, but this blade can clearly show the best result. Now he is ready for etching again. Last edited by Saracen; 17th October 2021 at 09:02 PM. |
