Hello Detlef,
You have the right to disagree but I maintain my opinion that my blade was not made from a file or rasp and I have the advantage over you to have it in front of me, the pics cannot capture the details of the crisscross lines. And I have plenty of worn files and can make the difference in the pattern even if the old Indonesian files were probably more rustic....
It seems that we will not get a consensus on this subject and I will personally not comment it anymore
