Funny how these type, chevron patterned blades are showing up. Charles posted one not too long ago, now this. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks very much for the kind words Kino It wasn't evident in the pics, but when I unsheathed it for the first time, I noticed the pattern right away- apparently someone had already etched it in the past, in the 90s. I decided to do minimal cleaning and etch it again to appreciate the pattern.
