Rick is correct that the pattern you see has been produced through acid etching. However, the smith went to some lengths to mimick wootz. The background color is dark behind the etched pattern and then the edge has been burnished bright. Like you see on some wootz blades. The blade has a nice shape and fullering and the enamel (?) work on the bolster is a nice touch.
