It may very well be wootz!

However, it quite clear that in this stage one cannot say for sure whether it is or not, but I don't see any reason as to why it can't be. The blade certainly comes from a time when wootz was the standard steel used, I believe, so your blade stands a good chance of being wootz.

Now, whether wootz or not, I still like it a lot and envy you for it.
