If you can see the lamination in the blade as it is and you like the polish I think you should go with your instincts; after all the sword is yours . ![]() ![]() |

Hello Rick and Kai, yes I will try an etching, since I have also another Moro kris that needs an etching and I will work on both.... I change idea easily

Hello Flavio,
Quote:
![]() That central line does seem to be a forging line which may be worth following up upon: This may be case of overenthusiastic polishing (which tends to obscur lamination patterns) and several rounds of polishing by hand followed by etching may be able to tell more details about the bladesmith's approach. Since the blade has enough substance, I'd give it a try. BTW, how did the staining worked with that other blade, Flavio? ![]() Regards, Kai |

Hello Kai, I was thinking to re-polished the blade since the result is not so exceptional.... at the end I liked also the shiny finish...
![]() For the other Moro I will start soon a new thread |
