Question What kind of iron ?

Hi all,
I have recently got this kudi tranchang. I etched (lightly) the blade and I found a pattern that IMO is nor pamor nor laminated steel. It looks to me like a not too contrasting wootz , but I must be wrong because this kind of iron be very unusual for this area and for this kind of tool/weapon.
May I have Your opinion ?
Thank You
Paolo

The pics of the blade close ups are the best I can do.
