Default Blade Material

I'm interested in the blade material. I've seen it in a lot of Bugis pieces as the iron has a rather silvery colour rather than the greyish tinge or approaching black hue found on other blades manufactured elsewhere in the region.

Is this the result of the blade not being acid stained, or due to some high nickel content in the base material perhaps?

Can someone enlighten me
