Two pattern welded chisels

Thank you. I’m really interested in low layer forge welding....simple but bold patterns. -
More experimenting with low layer pattern welding
MilwaukeeJon replied to MilwaukeeJon's topic in Knife Making
Perfect. One thing I learned on this project is that the finer grit grinding can lead to small delaminations if you aren't careful. These small flaws were easy to remove with slower/cooler grinding but it did make me take notice about being more careful in the future. -

Can any folks here help me with identification on this one, which is being given to me by a friend. What is with the track for a rail on the back? -
My Pig would love to meet yours! This stand, which appears to be original, has 1/2" deep mortises for the feet.
