Could well be shear steel. I had a victorian carver which accidently had vinegar (from pickled onions) spilled on it. Didn't know until several hours later, washed it off to see faint sham wootz patterning
 ....but the 'impressed' wording of "shear steel" on the blade ...sorta took the 'wind from my sails'  Nice piece Regards David |
