To me, the two grooves that go all the way up to the tip are an indication of a repurposed, bigger and older blade.

Wootz blade was the seller’s description but as soon as I get the dagger, I shall certainly post more detailed pics. Thank you already for your first very interesting reaction. Makes me more eager to check the dagger upon arrival.
