I have some other matters to attend to. But in the interim, here is a quick comparison of three blades. The one from Stan, the Bias example, and the one that started this topic a while back (in an earlier thread) on the bottom.

Everyone is going to have to be their own judge as to the signatures. And while I see both similarities and differences. Taking into account that the one on top is etched on plain carbon steel versus Damascus. Starting with the first "H", and working our way to the right, how different are the signatures? FP
