Wow, so fast stained? Very good job!

I think that the nice blade is from Madura, I like it!

Certainly a gamble that paid off. How bad is the sheath? The pictures don't show...

Looks like the blade has an ujung gunung pamor at the base. Quite unusual for a non-Bugis/Malay blade, I thought.

The whole ensemble looks matching.

Hi Guy,s,

Yes i stained it quite quick, the solustion is strong so it don,t take a lot of time.
the rust was also easy to remove.

There is Ujung Gunung on both side,s , but it won,t come out verry clear , i don,t know why? it,s a pitty.

Here some photo,s of the sheat .

Hi Danny,

like I write you yesterday by e-mail: When the blade fit good inside the sheath I would suggest to restore it, it's a nice timoho sheath and the wood is expensive.

It depend from the material how strong the contrast come out by warangan.

Best regards,

Detlef
