Bill, There is a smith in my area that has a kris like this one. He does pattern welding & mosaic damascus. Reads the forum, but doesn't post.

Hmmm... well Bill, if he could create something like this, I'm sure many would be interested (including myself).

If I am not mistaken, there is a parallel in wootz in India (according to some folks like Jens) where the good wootz were only afforded by the higher elite and the pattern welded were reserved for those a little below that.

By the way, here is one of my twist cores only on a Bagobo piece in this thread (need to scroll down to see the faint twistcore:

Could this have belonged to a Bagobo datu?
