real damascus?

[Miyamoto]

Hi!

I'm still a novice ;) and I've been offered that blade. Fairly modern, but it is a real damscus?

[Rick]

Not wootz but real layered forged steel I believe . :)
Looks like a really heavy etch .

[Battara]

Yeah, this would be considered damascus steel. Wootz is a type of damascus steel. Would you post pictures of the whole puppy please? :D

[erlikhan]

He wouldnt post other pictures as this item is in fact a currently active auction on ebay . 6583208074 . Has 1 hour to close yet.

I'm very tired of having to do this . :mad:

Miyamoto,

The worst thing is the characterization of this weapon being "offered" to you.

That infers a private offering, not an active public auction. As you well know, discussion of active auctions is prohibited.

You are no longer a "novice" here.
