Could it be that there is some other agent than the ones you have tried that might possibly bring out some detail in this strip ??
Hello Rick,

good observation! Could be that it is just a lamination like by this one: http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...highlight=kris
But the blade will get a better polishing and an etch with an other etching agent, like you I have my doubts that this is all what this "strip" will show.
