A very need presentation, I admire your macros of the blades. It is seldom I am as lucky as you are when I try it.

Anyone else with good macros?

As with a piece Rick recently wondered about, it is hard to tell with some of these whether they are wootz/bulat or very fine-grained folded steel; they present a possibly wootzy dicontinuity in some areas, but also seem to have a woodlike layeriness. Do some methods of working crucible steel yield such a layeriness?

I find that Rsword's picture #5 and Jen's second row right hand picture if ,they were deeply etched , might resemble in appearance the Khyber blade pattern I submitted for discussion .
