Thank you so much Lee, for the clarification on the grooves and all the other impressions.
I have made close up pictures of the half-moons in both blade faces. It appears they were not chiseled, but instead stamped, judging by some defect occurred in both sides, making one thing the marks were done with a (same) punch device.
... this if i catch your meaning and if i can see with the propper eyes.

Concerning sheet-metal, and again begging tolerance for my layman's eyes, this one certainly isn't made with such material ... for what matters. As i said before, and just tested again, i repeatedly bend it and it allways comes back to absolute straightness.
Fernando
