Nice piece Kronck! I think I see some type of activity in the steel. Probably easier seen in person than in the photos.

yes, hard to get just the right angle, not much natural light at the moment & my batteries are now recharging in the camera, will take some more daylight photos tommorrow.

STeve is right - I do see activity - more likely lamination, but it could be wootz (don't think so though) - can tell more after an etch to see.......

may be alittle late to chip in,,, but in all honesty the knife you posted looks like it is from corsica or sardinia... as the native knives look in this fashion......

Just to add to the mystery, my guess would be a KARD from the Balkans area.
