Odd Blade Patterns
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			Hi Dave,  I finally found some photos of similar blades. Two are different areas of the same blade not as nice as yours but, of the same  type of patterns.  I've read I think by more than on author that Laddering can occur naturally??  I'm leaning toward the consistency of repeated blows causing the patterns. The third photo here is sort of like double laddering but surely caused by repeated blows needed to shape the arc in the blade. That's my guess for what it's worth.  Steve
