Crucible Steel ?

My opinion is that the pattern is arising from layers and the grain pattern of the steel.

Hi Lee and Greg,
Yes to me it seems like that - but how, and why?

How and why? Folding, and because that's how steel was made, alloyed, and homogenized (other than crucible steel); no mystery there.
