Thanks you chaps. The back is 6mm for the most part but hollow ground so the blade is relatively light. The temper is similar to that of most tulwars and other basic cavalry sabres. I think as the blades are 18" long and the relative light blade they are more like short swords than knives. I will get some more stone sent to me on Wednesday.
