That's a question I was going to ask, do these usually have a laminated blade?

Hello David,

That's a question I was going to ask, do these usually have a laminated blade?

Yes, most do. From very basic laminations to high-end pattern welding.

Yours seems to have some contrasting random layers. I'd suggest a gentle, subdued etch to keep the focus on the flow of lines (fullers, etc.).

Kai
