Den,
Excellent comparison, many thanks for posting it. Is there any crossgraining on the fake blade at all?
Billy, I have not seen these fake daggers crossgrayning simulate. Lack crossgrayning can not be a major determinant fact of forgery. Rather, if it is missing is a reason to pay more careful attention to the subject. I've seen lately there have been fake blade with crossgrayning imitation. How sadly but fake producers are also trying to improve their products.
