An extremely complicated blade pattern
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			This post is for those collectors that appreciate patterned blades and for any blacksmiths that have created pattern welded blades. 
 
This is a Chinese blade, 17/18th century, with a blade that features both twistcore AND a horse tooth Hamon.  Fine twistcore that is tight without seam openings is an accomplishment and horse tooth Hamon by itself is a complicated feat.  To find them together is quite rare.   
 
Enjoy.
