This was owned by an archeologist. He said this is a knife of Macedonia 7th century. The handle is wrapped with copper band.
One side is polished in Japanese style to study it.
The steel construction looks the two blocks. The body (or back) steel is soft, and it has a flowing layer pattern.
The edge steel is hard enough, since it has bright hamon. Its layer is very compact.
Hamon is bright, made of small particles. Its pattern is ko-midare and choji. It looks like the hamon of Ichimonji.
