I think that there is a good possibility that the blade is made from wootz!

Thanks, Sajen : I was hoping that was the case,however I'm too ignorant on that matter to venture a guess.

Hello David,
Also when you, like I know, are afraid to work on blades I would try a mild etch. The blade looks clean enough that the chance is high that it would show a pattern after it. Regards, Detlef |

I was going to say that the blade might be wootz but Detlef was faster.
Sometimes you should be able to see some of the wootz structure even without etching in the finer polished areas. |

I tried to etch once and it frightened me enough not to ever try it again, lol.
