Gav, Yup, you are correct there is a thin line fuller towards the spine at the forte. So that would make 5 fullers each side...10 total. There is a very nice false edge that starts at the 1/3 of the way up....wickedly light...one of the best blades I own and it's a longer that normal dha blade at 27 inches. How long is your blade? Unfortunately, mine does not have the original scabbard as yours does.
