Interesting. The bottom one is recently made that is now coming out on the market. I had heard that they are being mass produced in India.

Are you saying the bottom one is made in India? If so I must strongly disagree the lamination on this blade is identical to one I have in my collection that is from the 1930s-40s. Modern Indian damascus is totally different you would not see the hardened edge that this one in question exhibits.

Interesting indeed!

No disagreement from me with either of you. I've been collecting for too short a time. Jose, I'd love to learn more of these newly produced pieces from India. I remember you speaking of them in Timonium. I've seen a lot of the "raindrop" damascus from India, but nothing like this. Thanks to both of you for your comments!

Edit: This is the Indian damascus I'm familiar with.
