Maybe, but also maybe not.
There are several different ways that this blade could have gained the plain iron overlay to one face, the correction of error that I have already mentioned, or the failure to remove a protective plate used during production, or maybe --- just maybe --- the intentional production of a pamor tangkis.
Pamor tangkis requires that each blade face carry a different pamor.
An easy way to do this is to make an ordinary random pamor and then add to that on one blade face.
Pamor tangkis is regarded as a protective device against black magic.
We do not know exactly why this blade has this pamor, but there are several possibilities, some I have mentioned, but we could probably come up with additional ones also.
