Hello Novan,

Quote:

the feature of one of the sogokan extending into a straight groove which ends nearly halfway up the blade.

It does look a bit like an afterthought in this example - a single extended sogokan is a traditional feature as mentioned by Gustav already.

Actually, it would be expected to end at (or near) the tip of the associated kruwingan.

Regards,
Kai
