[QUOTE=They make wootz ingots in quantities and would have no problem forging one into a blade.[/QUOTE]
Ariel,
I do not think this is the case nor real wootz ingots are being made
The subject blade is likely antique wootz blade, heavily grinded from larger blade, likely tulwar, into smaller one, which resulted in discoloration and losses of pattern. The modern "wootz" daggers made in India that look like wootz are not real wootz, just like "wootz" ingots they sell on eBay.
