"Thus, the secrets of wootz are still undiscovered, but who needs them? Modern metallurgy produces iron alloys of unquestionably superior quality."

Back when I started collecting I bought only eropean and american arms, but after seeing wootz for the first time its been all oriental arms. I never ge3t tired of looking at a nice wootz blade

And when I have your atention Ariel, I have this sword with an unmarked wootz blade, its my favorite wootz in my collection and its mounted on indian mounts but I do think the blade is persian. What do you think looking att the wootz in the picture below. Also here is a terrible movie of it https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/702399107
