A better example of the cross-hatching on the scabbard. Personally, I would rate the koftgari work on the hilt and scabbard as higher in quality than the small area on the blade. None of it is truly outstanding, but it is skilled work and that on the hilt and scabbard seems above average. The cross-hatching for the base of the koftgari on the hilt and scabbard is not visible to the naked eye.
