Hi Joe.
No the handle is not going to be Wootz
The handle is made of 2 parts sheet steel generally brazed together, I would think the pieces are formed first before brazing.
Be careful, I picked up a tulwar around 8 years ago and now have perhaps 25 Indian swords and daggers, you will want more of them.
Welcome to the forum by the way.
Regards,
Ken
