Alex,
I have a number of examples in my collection where there is evidence of heat treating, most evidently in the differing coloration in these zones. I imagine if we had more blades in new polish you would find a larger number of wootz blades with this feature. They were intended, after all, for use and a heat treated edge provided a harder edge. |
