Is this Wootz Steel?

Gav is very correct. The blade needs to be etched (treated with a mild acidic solution) to reveal any pattern. The patina with pitting combination often creates an "illusion" of pattern. This particular blade does not show any. Give it a try, and good luck.

Nothing but good old fashioned elbow grease will get rid of pitting, but really, don't worry about it, it is after all an old warrior and and an old warrior need to show his age gracefully.
