Josh the only explanation I can come up with is that at some point somebody wrapped some cord around the blade in a criss-crossed pattern, and when this got wet it caused a series of localized pits to form in an "x" pattern. Maybe?

Or perhaps and adhesive used in making the newer scabbard leached through and oxidized the blade?
