There are indeed. The chevron blades I have not seen close up. Is the chevron iron scale or a stain? to me it looks like a stain. Obviously decorative and clever. These picture of a ww2 machete and a NATO survival knife are black possibly for two reasons. Anti reflection and cheap finishing, though the finish on the NATO knife does not look cheap. The anti reflection is surely in many cases a good idea. I have a North African knife, well made but strangely left dull but deliberate fine use of a file. If fighting in a jungle environment the last thing you need is a shaft of sunlight giving away your position, untill you are ready for your ambush or charge on a village.
