Rick:

I think your's and Spunjer's are made similarly. But don't forget the profile of his blade is different from your's. Basically, your blade is a tapering "V" but Spunjer's is somewhat hollow ground above a swollen edge, with a pronounced ridge separating the two. Just by the nature of the grind on Spunjer's you would expect to see more patterning because more layers are being exposed by virtue of the grinding. The fact that there is considerable contrast between the metals of the various layers makes Spunjer's pattern more obvious.
