Another damascus? kaskara

Here is anothe kaskara that might be damascus but i'm not sure on this
one. Blade is 33 inches long, 39 inches long overall with a silver handle.
One single wide fuller the entire length of the blade. It looks like a layered
blade but someone said that shear steel might look the same when etched.
Any comments..........Dave.
