I think that is quite a nice find. It looks like rare horse tooth pattern welding on the blade.
Nice. Josh |

After some consideration, a light polish and light etch were made, and I am more than satisfied with the results

... and, now, is this kind of lamination what started to turn on some red lights in my panel...
If I may ask... what was used as etching medium? For how long was it applied on the blade? My familiarity with antique chinese swords is too limited, I'm afraid, that's why I'm asking, but... is THIS kind of lamination really likely to be found in antique chinese dao? Not lamination per se, but this one, with the big "pool" pattern, so similar to the cheapest kind of commercially available pattern welded steel, lightly forged, heavily ground down, with no inserted edge.... Maybe it's only my paranoia, PROBABLY it is, but I would appreciate anyone really familiar with this kind of weaponry to come and smack me in the head, if so... |
