I have always been enthusiastic about the koftgari work of today, but the pattern welding that apprears on the blades is something I am less enthused about.

Also, just for knowledge sake, the steel on these mewer made ones are generally softer than what would be seemed safe for actual combat or other practical use -- generally with a hardness of 40 HRC. Many blades considered useable are in between 50 and 60.


Still, you have a piece with some great looking koftgari/inlay work!
