blue wootz

Greg,

I think the original post that prompted me to share some examples truly was thought provoking. Is it only eye candy or was it functional. To me, it was both. Like the Japanese and their blades, I think wootz was revered and like Japanese blades quality wootz blades served as family heirlooms and passed down through the generations. It is not uncommon for the blade to greatly outdate the mountings.
