Gustav, I thank you for your explanation.
I have no wish at all to try to convince you that you should adopt my opinion, my own opinion has been been formed by own experience, your opinion has been formed by your experience.
For the people I have known who made this pamor motif, an example of which is present in the blade under discussion, it was just a wos wutah variation. For me it is a wos wutah variation.
You see it as something different, I don't have a problem with that. My intent is not & never has been to convince everybody that my own opinion is always right, I simply share my experience with others in the hope that a bridge might be built between those who do possess knowledge & those who do not.
Let's just let it rest.
Just a quick after thought.
Gustav, could I suggest that you get hold of the book written by Jim Hrisoulas: "The Master Bladesmith"?
For somebody who wishes to gain an understanding of pattern welding, this is a good place to start.
