Yes, it looks like, but I doubt that it is genuinely made in modern times.
Or it may be the pattern weld I was talking earlier, that was practically undistinguishable from old wootz.
Whoever claims to have done it, should be able to consistently reproduce these results and make some blades for sale (like Kirpichev does).
