Kai,

The second picture is the reverse of the blade. It shows all high carbon steel to within about 1/2" of the spine. The spine shows laminations.

I agree about the leather repair. It does not look like an indigenous repair. I thought about a simple rattan wrap, but decided to leave it in the state that I found it.

Thanks,
Steve
