Thank you for posting such lovely examples. I especially like the Tanjore example. The fullering is quite precise and I like the contrast between the blackened steel on the guard and the bordering koftgari'ed panels. Often on these the wootz patterning would be left visible in the fullers and the edges polished bright giving again a nice visual contrast.
