I love the blade especially, indeed seems wootz but even if it weren't it's lines and shape are very elegant.

At the same time I also wonder, could it have been another dagger before and rehilted this way? What triggers this idea is that the "shoulders" or base of the blade is wider than the handle, sticking out on both sides with sharp 90 degree corners. On the examples I see on the web blades flow into the handle same width (or very close to it).

Kind regards,
Eric.
