Hi Spiral.

Thank you very much. The blade seems to have more obvious laminations towards the edge, but there are laminations visible (fainter) across the entire surface.
The edge looks almost like a Hamon line, is it produced in a similar way?

Thats an interesting link!!, I wasn't familiar with that knife. I'd rather like one muyself!!

Best
Gene
