Hullo everybody,
Yes I agree. It looked very evenly and deliberately applied. The only metal showing were a few spots at the crest of waves where it looked like they had been rubbing against the inside of the scabbard over years of in/out motion. That's why I wasn't concerned. I was very glad it was there, as it preserved the blade and the inlay in mint condition. Similar to the "blue" on a Marsose Klewang
Best,
