Good Evening gentlemen,

I noticed some distinct fine layering in the steel of this Indian blade so gave it a quick lemon juicing and these are the results.

Its a good blade, but can those who know about the various types of layered steel from that area just throw some opinions at me please?

I would appreciate help with understanding exactly what I'm looking at here.

Regards
Gene
