what looks like laminations is a result of intense hammering of the cutting edge and differential hardening. I have no further pictures of the Tenegre right now but i have a picture which shows similar lines on a Persian Khorasani blade. More about wootz here: https://www.tf.uni-kiel.de/matwis/am...tr/ib_5_1.html I think the raw-material was made and prepared (hammering, rolling) in India. More pictures of the Tenegre, when i can demonstrate it without doubt, that we see wootz. Roland |
