Rodgers with odd markings stamped on face of blade
On a nice bulky Rodgers wedge with blonde horn scales I just picked up. It has odd markings stamped onto the face of the blade.
I feel like I've seen these markings somewhere before and I'm just forgetting where I saw it and what it was.

It reminds me of the Rodgers with the devanagari rendering of "wootz" (that is, the faux Sanskrit or faux Hindi) (this other thread is also related), but it doesn't read to me as devanagari script.
Ignore the dark 'smear', that's not part of the stamp. There are seemingly three separate symbols: the rightmost looks like << , the middle looks a bit like honeycomb, and the leftmost I don't know how to describe - like two stick men looking over a wall and waving?
I'm sure I should know what this is (either that I've seen it before somewhere or it was a strange dream? )
Any ideas?
