Fun: name that pattern!

[Chiro75]

No contest to win or anything else. Just a little fun. Name the pattern of the knife pictured below and you win the satisfaction of being much cooler and superior in every way to the losers who guess and are wrong. Have fun!

umm.... Inverted scale ?

Don't know about the pattern - but it kinda looks like a lot of ATS34 I've seen recently.

[rhrocker]

Well, lets see, how about IRAQ

Well, lets see, how about IRAQ

I think the pits should be a lot deeper for that name to fit haha
then we can do more bombing to make sure.

Looks familar. I made a blade of some O1 for a neighbor about two years ago and got it back for a sharpen and touch up. Looks much the same way. I tried to clean it up but the little valleys from the pitting are there to stay I'm afraid.

Kind of looks like the electrical conductivity graph of L-5 through T-1,after spending a day grinding out pits(chiro will understand).
You might call it "Galaxy Quest,revenge of the Black Hole".

Iron matrix growing into a blade. Steel wasn't quite thick enough to grind out all the pits hey. Wrap it with seniew or buff guts and call it a trade knife.

crap pattern?????????

 

[zerogee]

Looks like the blade is a Nessmuck pattern. As far as the pits - I'd call those random nastiness.

[SPryor Knives]

The waslostoutsideforentirelytoolong pattern?

 

[FlaMtnBkr]

How about 'rat shot in mud' pattern?

 

[Chiro75]

I should've made myself more clear. I didn't want commentary on the pits in the blade, rather the actual pattern/style of the knife. Zerogee kicked all your sorry asses! It is a Nessmuk. This is almost the last of my nemesis, 1084, that I got from Kovals eons ago. All the bars I had were deeply pitted like that. On this knife, leaving that stuff behind actually looks pretty cool. In the past I always worked hard to get down through it all, but for a "trade" style knife like this it actually works. This one will be one of my "Fusion" knives (blending elements that you rarely see together), so it has a clay coated heat treat and will get something like Micarta or G-10 handles with a Concealex sheath. Maybe the world's first "tactical" Nessmuk?!
