Wootz blades were produced in Iran into the 20th century.
Nasr al-Din Shah (r. 1848-1896) was responsible for a neoclassical movement in Iran, designed to counter European influence and stimulate the economy. Swordsmithing was revived and some very good wootz blades were forged. A number of the better examples bear his name.
