I purchased this from Mang Ven again the other day only because of the very faint possibility of twist core laminations in the middle. I shone a LED flashlight on it and there seemed to be an ever so slight twist in an area at the middle of the blade. I have tried my best to show it but even then, it's very very faint.

I normally etch after polishing in warm white vinegar, but in thise case, should I look for FeCL? Or do you think the vinegar would be enough?
