You have a true double twisted rod center piece blade versus the etched fake models of this work. Two indicators of the real work exist on your blade. One is the area of the cold shut between the two rods. The other is the fact that the twist area extends beyond the central area and into the edge area a bit. The etched pieces have a clear line of demarcation betweeen these two areas which is somtimes contained by an inlayed strip along this edge.
