Wootz etching of Indian Katar

[Jens Nordlunde]

Every collector has his preference.
I would think, the age of the katar taken into consideration, I would etch the whole blade and polish the edges.
It really is a difficult question, as some would polish/burnish the blade - while others would do nothing of the kind - I for one would not do this.
