Naga Dao
5 Attachment(s)
My last purchase for a loooong time. Got carried away these last few weeks.
A Naga dao. 25.5" long with 19" blade. No scabbard unfortunately. Late-19th century? Emanuel |
Nice folding pattern under a beautiful patina.
I have a similar one, also with a bright and nicely laminated blade after gentle polishing. Within a month or two it became as patinated as this one. What kind of steel is it? |
Just received it and haven't finished cleaning the blade but the lamination seems to be a hairpin pattern. The contrast between the two types of metal is quite striking. I'll post pics when polished.
|
The hairpin pattern is a sign of the highest quality dao (it might even have a double hairpin). Here is another thread where they are discussed:
