the word unique comes to mind.

unfortunately it wont take many sharpenings with the pits so close to the edge

But who made it and what did he make it from? As for sharping if it's done right you won't need to sharpen it that much.<><

no clue who made it but looks like some VERY old saw blade or farm scrap that was blued. guard probably iron looks like it was welded. and handle looks to be amboyna (sp?) burl

Stic,  Is that a full tang?  Is the guard an add on or part of the original piece of steel?  Can you take a close up picture of the guard?  It appears to be just raw forged with very little grinding.  The hole in the blade may have been in the steel scrap before forging or punched in and allowed to be burnt on subsequent heats.  Now that you have your forge & anvil, shouldn't be too hard to copy...Doc
