Very nice! I particularly like the handle and the proportions: very long but strong blade. How about some polishing and etching? Bet it will reveal itself as a real beauty! Great buy!

Ok Rick
I polished part of the blade. I attacked it with the acid. While looking with the magnifying glass. Very small particles are seen. And also some particles which really shine like diamonds. galvano |
