[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 146972, member: 55"]It looks like the blade may be Damascus steel, and if real Damascus rather than faked to look like it (which could well be the case), that might add to the value. I might add that people are often fooled into thinking these are older than they really are by the rust; but because they are often made of rather poor-quality steel they can rust very quickly, within just a few years.[/QUOTE]
