We do know that some crucible came out without pattern but it was still crucible.
This is excluding the European trade blades that were "plain" steel.

From my understanding there were regular plain steel besides crucible steel, that would be used for cheaper made swords, knives, regular everyday tool and such. I have quite a few (I don't know the exact count) arrow tips from various eras, that are made of either regular steel, iron and some that I think are high carbide since they have not rusted, even after being buried or in the same bag as iron ones.
