The easiest way is to make a free imgur.com account, upload it there and then click "get share link" and post that here.

Oh yeah, defiantly sending in but curious as heck about why the most expensive knife I have ever bought looks to have a “wish” d2 blade. Bought from dealer actually coming up on company’s dealer search.

It's hard to see what's going on in that picture. I'm not quite sure what you mean by de-laminating. As it doesnt have a laminated blade like a san mai. What do you got a wire edge going on there or something?

second pic is making me change my mind....wire burr is a thin edge of steel that you can feel with your thumbnail against it. can be thick and hard to move back or forth without using a hard medium like a stone or can be thin and you can move it around....


first pic after reading limpC's description made me see it as a burr and shadows from it on the first pic. second pic it doesn't appear to be at the edge...so now I'm studying it.....
 
It looks like when they sharpened the knife, they didn't completely take off the coating at that part of the edge. It shouldn't have left the factory like that, but it's a cosmetic issue. If you sharpen the knife and follow the original factory angle, the leftover coating will come off.
 
op. can ya remove that dark markings with your stone?

Does any Benchmade have a "laminated" blade?

Not sure I’m calling it correct. I understand that’s more of a Damascus thing because of. Layers…. Looks to be hollow with it being in the middle. By the time be made gets “ raw steel and then configured ( very over simplified) there is no later logical reason I can conceive with my limited metallurgy insight. Thanks
Am I wrong.
Layers of materials in this steel are combined where layers would not be present. ?
