We were asked to improve the overall appearance of this North Indian Tulwar. It's blade was pitted, edge dull with lots of chipping, which had compromised the contours of the blade and finally it's hilt was also very loose. We refinished the blade removing almost all of the pitting, resharpened the edge, which could now easily split a hair and remounted the original hilt securely. No sword is complete without a scabbard, so we made a traditional wooden core scabbard covered in genuine antique velvet and finished with a steel chape and wire braid. The blade on this sword was quite interesting, besides it displaying a fine wootz steel pattern, if viewed from a different angle you could also see parallel patterns I.e. from further folding the steel.
