Kai and Battara,
Guys, that’s exactly what I had in mind and was saying about the kris presented here: dark edges due to tempering.
Seems the two responses are good. The kris shows a harder steel use for the edge (darker because of the better carbon content than the rest) plus the quench line. You can see that variation of the quench line go above the harder edge, especially on the tip
