Thanks Mike for the Lombok suggestion, and to all the others who responded with thoughts. Still somewhat of a mystery.

One thing I forgot to mention was the appearance of a hardened edge that is quite wide. I have not etched this blade, but simply polishing it seems to show that the edge is different from the rest of the blade.
