while I thank you again for your to-the-point answer ( and by the way , methinks that there are plenty of metallurgic points made in several threads that I’ve read, as for example about on how to etch blades ) I have learned to appreciate and perhaps even love this blade.
I like the way the light catches and reflects on this spot, it goes from light to deep dark, as you move the kris creating a very vivid effect.
Intended or not it lives now, and it lives with me. I have abandoned any retouching desire.
there is , of course, no account for taste and I have no doubt that people will disagree
