Well the cleaning of the blade proceeds, but my ignorance about indian weapons is embarrassing

I see that the tang seems to "attached" to the blade: i see a triangular dowel made of a different iron-steel that seems softer

Is the normal way? Thank you

Down this far on the blade would it still be called scarf welding ?

Just for information, I once reveived a blade that was discoloured due to heating. (maybe it was done too fast / too hot).

Without any knowledge of metals at all, I decided to reheat it gently and while cooling down, I rubbed the surface with aluminium-foil. (just the simple foil you use in the kitchen.) This made the discolouring disappear.

There will be better and more metalurgic ways to solve this but just a tip.

And best wishes to all. May 2007 be a prosperous and above all healthy year.

Best regards,
Willem
