armthearmour:machiavellianfictionist:Indian tulwar with a beautiful blade. The chevron pattern is forged in damascus and high-carbon steel. The hilt is decorated in koftgari.Looking at this, I have to imagine that the entire blade is actually Damascus steel.For those who don’t know, when Damascus steel is polished, that lovely pattern disappears. It can be brought forth again by putting specific acids on the blade.To me, this blade is probably a uniform steel that was carefully polished and had acid carefully placed on it to get that Chevron pattern. -- source link
