Finally took some pictures of the gunong I've acquired over the last few months. Nothing spectactular, just good solid pieces.
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This next piece didn't show much pattern after an etch. It had some pitting, so I decided to give it a soak in EvapORust, a non-aggressive rust remover. The solution was old and about worn out so I left it in overnight. The blade came out almost black, and when I wiped it off, show a very interesting pattern. Almost a pamor pattern. Never had that happen before. Don't understand the chemical process that took place, but I'll take luck over skill any day. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Thanks for looking, Steve |

Thanks for your comments gentlemen. The nice thing about gunong is the endless variety, and small size. They don't take up much space! The hilt on #4 is all wood, with a separate wood guard, wrapped in thin brass. The blade on #5 is a puzzle to me. Thinner and more numberous laminations than what one normally sees on PI pieces.
