You can have it.It's butt ugly to me(just my opinion).
Hate the scales, and the blade is so badly oxidized I cannot see any real pattern. I'm sure it's not true Damascus since the art of making this steel was lost centuries ago.
From my point of view the best is extra fee for his going to the post office.Interesting sense of humor, rally dry.
I like the concept of the scales but it just did not look right...
Good find thanks!
:)
you can buy a big ass blank on ebay for the cost of a couple of pizzasQuote:

well shut my mouth you are right Mr. P
they are in fact quite different (and thank you for clearing up my ignorance on the subject)
it may cost more, but I'm sure you could scrounge some real Wootz up with a little work
therefore the broad sweeping statement to which I originally replied is still invalid
Yes, you actually do find balls of wootz from time to time ;) If my memory serves correctly, some hobbyists are actually trying to make some.
