Lamination Question

I'm glad you addressed those lines; I wondered about them, but couldn't decide if they were cracks, layers like you said, places where the etch got resisted by something on the surface of the blade, or flaws (although gaps and waves can be deliberate) in a temper line. As you can see, I can fit what I see of them into any theory with equal realism, so while I found them interesting, I had nothing useful to say about them.....
