Etching surprise on a talibon

Hi Flavio, Yes your right. The talibon was almost certainly made from an old file. Good sources of steel. Also could you please edit your post as you have doubled up on the pictures and its a bit of an eye-full.

Cheers!

Hi Will

What you have there is the temper line all forged blades usually have one. You were able to bring it out through polishing and etching the blade. Nice job.
