I was watching it as well, but more out of interest because since I don't have the cash... I did not bid
  I looks well executed and clean... personally I like katars in all sizes and shapes, from little daggers to the long sword-like ones.

Yep... if cash conservation wasn't such a consideration at the moment, I would have made more of a play, though in the end I still wouldn't have been the winner. Congrats, Lew...
My personal preferences tend towards the older ones from the South, ca. 1700 or earlier... condition though, as has been mentioned, is commonly an issue with these. |

The katar arrived and it exhibits a nice wootz pattern no etch was needed. Will try and take some more pics on Friday.

Here is a closeup of the blade you can see the wootz pattern in the fullers.
