Ah. Thank you for the clarification. Honestly, my first thought when I read the original post was that pamor ceblokan referred to something like acid etching or other treatments to create the
appearance of pamor. I have seen such things done to pedang (sword) and kujang blades, but I didn't/don't know the terminology.
I've never seen ceblokan pamor, I guess. How would one recognize it?
