Thread: Wootz razor in progress

Ok Wootz turned out to be notoriously hard to make decent pics of. Either they're overlighted, or underlighted, or the pattern doesn't show up. I had to use my lightbox for the overall lighting, combined with direct flash to get the pattern to show up. And truth be told the pattern is a lot more subtle still in real life. I'll have to figure out better ways to capture wootz.

I honed it, and it is freakishly sharp. During the thumbnail test, it just grabbed my thumbnail. I had the impression that it would go straight through if I dared pull, and leave the top of my thumb on the table. To get a good look of the pattern, look at the pics in large size.
