Looks like two different types of metal welded together .
More like a pamor ; but pamor does fit the incredibly broad term of "damascus" as perceived by the general public . /could be resist etched though .......... |

Alan
Let's not be mysterious here ; any piece is always better judged in its complete context .
How about showing the whole piece ; both sides and hilt/tang ; whichever . Share a little description such as dimensions origin , etc. Right now I'm leaning toward resist etched from what I can see . You're welcome . |

Ok
I bought it recently on ebay auction. The seller claimed it was found at a farm sale in Pennsylvania.It is 11 inches total and the blade is 5 inches long and about 1inch wide at the widest point.It looks like it had a longer tang welded to the "damascus" looking part  Weld?  Thanks again for the help |

WoW !
Really long tang !
Perhaps what you have is a forged cable blade with a monosteel tang extension welded on . The scabbard looks like it was an add on and not original to the blade . looks like a fun project piece .
