Finally here is an Ottoman jambiya with wootz closeup. I must admit at first I had trouble telling the wootz from really good lamination, but now I look at how the patterns fall back on themselves or how the crystalization is. Although you can see some swirling in this closeup, you can see the crystalization easily.
Side note, Ann glad you went to the museum. Let me know when you come in town to see the museum again. What did you think of the place?
