I can see why Jim and Detlef saw the pattern as being acid etch, i.e. artificial surface applied. May I question this? Having some resemblance to wax resist method, it lacks the details that such method would produce due to application of a template that results in sequential repeats in the pattern. I do not see such repeats, nor the template being used here. To me this indicates true mechanical Damascus, in line with such stated description on the blade. Is there another resist method that could be used to yield a random pattern, etc?
