Although...........sometimes there are forging markes or "cracks" like these and no pattern at all - I have seen and even have one.

I hope I am wrong, but could some of the 'cracks' be the remains of decorative etching, now mostly worn or polished out?

Hello David, I don't know, but IMO they are too much irregular

Well, guys, I need all you help here: attached are many (maybe too much

) pictures of the result.... If in some parts seems that the blade could be twisted core, in other no at all!! So please, be so kind to be clear

: it's me (i'm not an expert and this is not my field, so no offens) or it's the blade???

Thanks a lot

Keep re-etching it - something is coming out, though may be a lamination instead of twistcore.....
