As i stated Rick, in hand my opinion might be different. I do see what you mean now, especially in the gandik area. The screen on my laptop isn't stellar and i didn't notice that before.
I still remain fairly convinced that Erik's originally posted blade does indeed have a seperate gonjo. How about it Erik, can you tell in hand?

I agree, Erik's example looks more like separate construction .
There is no real continuity to the pamor across the line of demarcation .

Gustav's however ... ??
