Hi,
This blade is made from a metal file. Some people look down on that, but in remote areas, this steel (together with steel from taken from old weapons) was simply the best steel available. I think it shows that the makers cared about the quality of the blade and it WAS superior to locally made steel. I have shown a few in the past http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...light=Shibriya
