18th century if not earlier?!

I am not sure the the name "hancer" is the correct one, and I would like to learn more about this.

I am not sure if it is wootz, I can not see any pattern but the blade edges look like they were sand papered and the middle has to much patina to see anything.

As for "hancer", this name is used by some to describe these Ottoman daggers, others use "court dagger", its just a name for categorization.
