Great piece!

Interestingly I see a mechanical pattern or even acid etched (proximal) as well as wootz. Do you see a faint weld line?

All the Best
Jeff

Dear Dom .Thank's for the translation.I know it is difficult to find out what it says.
Gonzalo the thickness of the blade at the base is 5mm and at the middle 4mm
and the total length 87cm.I believe these are the mesurments you have asked me, if you want anything else I will be happy to help.
Best regards
Ilias
