Hello All

This isn't in my normal area of collecting, but it wasn't expensive, so this sharp point came to live with me today.
I'm not 100% positive, but I believe this is wootz. I believe I can see the "crack" in the spine of the blade as well.
I think maybe this was originally a Persian kard that was later remounted to it's present form. I also the blade may have originally had a collar at the base, which is why there's some discoloration there now.

What do people think? Am I totally off base?

Any thoughts/comments welcome.

Thanks,
Leif
