Lucius, true, bronze (which the dagger hilt is cast in) is probably not entirely correct for this dagger type..... any info on bronze hilts which have been found???
and i am still looking for correct surplus iron ones..
the blade is high grade cast Iron, hammered and quenched. i have ruined various sanding tools on it, and even a disc cutter was to little effect... however i found that natural stones... (like the Japanese use) works better than any other sharpening and polishing tools!
i am also thinking of trying to make a true Hamon into this blade..... (but not sure)
one hole in the middle of the top knob that will be....
