Hello Charles,

Quote:
The blade is very nicely forged in a "hairpin" laminated pattern that might be just as much at home on a Tibetan or Nepalese sword pattern-wise.
As discussed before, this linear pamor with bold contrast is quite rare, indeed. I'd avoid the reference to the hairpin pattern of the Himalayas though since the very key (the turnover towards the tip) is obviously missing from these Moro laminations.

The scabbard is new.
I'd imagine that this really elegant pommel would look even nicer with a slender keris-like crosspiece - photoshop, anyone?

Regards,
Kai
