The steel of the Ancients........

[Dawkind]

This is an early Wootz piece I got from Al Pendray about 10 years ago......It was made when he had a partner in the re-discovery of Wootz named Job; the Arabic mark is his. I made the wood-lined rayskin covered sheath and it's pictured along with some other sheaths I made that are in the leatherworkers section of Knives '93. <IMG SRC ="http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=667533&a=9759824&p=32327597">

Are those stains blood from the blade testing?

Nice pics BTW.
