new katar your opinion

[galvano]

Hello with all
Here my new katar.
I bought it yesterday.
It is out of very fine granular wootz
One does not see well the structure of metal on the photographs.

The steel looks kind of like this stuff :

Very nice! I particularly like the handle and the proportions: very long but strong blade. How about some polishing and etching? Bet it will reveal itself as a real beauty! Great buy!

[galvano]

Ok Rick
I polished part of the blade. I attacked it with the acid.
While looking with the magnifying glass.
Very small particles are seen.
And also some particles which really shine like diamonds.
