Alan.......the volume of what you may have forgotten is more than most will ever know! I've known you too long to think otherwise

I.P... excellent questions. On an old blade such as this apparently is, it would seem that the oiling treatments and reactions might alter somewhat the patterns or pamor inherent in it. As I have understood, while the pamor is of course 'random' in notable degree, it is the character of these various recognized pamors that correspond to the traditional beliefs in this culture.

I find these definitions of the character of each fascinating, and would like to know which of the pamor groups and significance might apply here.
