Looks a little like a Chinese style. THe Viilage Blacksmith stamp is kinda weird. I thought it looked like the blade couldb be laminated. In hand I'm still not sure! I'll have to polish and etch. But I'm curious what you all think. It is crudely made, at least the welds. It seems to be distally tapered. So it's kinda puzzleing.
