Okay - this is interesting. If you look at the pre-soak pictures, you can see that someone filed down the tip to make it more pointed - it is shiny. I'll take a picture of the other side of the blade for reference.

I too think it may be the core, but with an untrained eye, I could not be sure.

Yes, I think that I see some filing marks. Someone apparently reshaped the tip a little bit ...
