Yeah, I looked at the edge under magnification and saw quite a number of odd chips, grooves and dents.
They don't look like anything I've seen on other steels. Almost look like a chip followed by corrosion?
I was thinking of trying to sharpen it using a reverse stroke... with the edge instead of against it.
As I have very limited experience with doing so, I didn't try it, but I likely will.
It is a very strange steel for sure. Didn't seem very homogenous end to end.
