Hi Rick,
The seller had no info. I was just immediately intrigued by the blade. Clearly there is lamination here, but how those "cut outs"(for lack or a better term!) were created I don't know. Perhaps chiseling?...though they don't look chiseled. Perhaps some sort of fill, almost like a lost wax method? Note that one goes through the blade and I am assuming that is a forging flaw.
The blade color is absolutely true to the pics. I went out of my way to get good light in these pics because I thought the blade color might be an important factor.
I was hoping this would be immediately recognizable to some folks here, but apparently it only raises more questions.
Thanks for all the comments and insight.
