Exposed aggregate; I'm impressed. :cool:
That's very labor intensive work; the stones have to be absolutely clean or they will pop out; also there is an art to scattering the stones on the wet concrete. ;) :D

About the Jambiya; will you attempt to polish it?

Actually Rick, those are precast exposed aggregate pavers. Made in a factory just like that Jambiya. Not very labor intensive but with cheap labor. Mexico for the pavers and India for the Jambiya. That's the case with most things these days.

Yeah Michael, you're correct they are pre-made (like everything else these days).
They just brought back memories of my years in the concrete biz doing E.A. walks. ;) :D

Yup, I'm in the business myself. Nothing like a good Marshalltown trowel from the old days compared to the low quility they put out now. The rivets are always poping out long before the blade has worn down.

But we digress.....

We have discussed Mexican swords in the past; what's wrong about discussing Mexican pre-mixed concrete? It's ethnographic, for sure.

I love it...thank you. :D

The knife decor looks like it is made of white metal by what I can tell by the patina (looks a little greenish). I would say tourist. Not the best "floor model" I have ever seen (though it does seem "grounded").... :p
