to get the ladder you need grind the groove when the blade is very close to its finally shape. if you cut the groove too early, the ladder will be stretched too wide in the later forging. and won't remain clear and organize enough to see.
 
Wow that is very cool! I can't imagine the time it took to figure that out. Nice work!
