Those are beautiful Jeff!
I am not sure how to classify either blade, neither looks like "classic" sham. They do appear similar to 19th century patterns from Persia and India. Can I ask is this from modern steel? Do you know the S content? You certainly have me scratching my head! Jeff |

Thanks, they are modern steel, photo # 1 is about five years old, photo #2 is just a couple months. Sulfur is 0.02%, I think, I am away from my records right now, I'll double check when I get home.
I'm scratching my head, too - another decade or two of experiments, and I *might* have an idea of how modern and classic wootz blades compare, and what it all means. First blade was etched in Ferric chloride, second in ferrous sulfate. |
