Thanks everyone, I did warn the young lad (I'm feeling old) that I felt that it was not wootz, I have to admit I wasn't certain. Wootz is not something that is common to African blades.
I do know that he paid very little for it, so I don't think it will be a great disappointment to him. He is afterall 10.
