This Kattara came today. The photos are from the auction, since my camera is having problems. Any comments on the pattern in the blade? There is a ladder pattern on one side and on the other the pattern is more linear. Is this a laminated blade with the layers being more parallel to one side, such that when it was polished the pattern was created. Does anyone have any suggestions about cleaning it to bring the pattern out, or should I leave it as is?
