Luzon Bolo With Wootz Blade!

Just to summarize the thoughts here for my own clarity. I think Lew has presented an intriguing piece for discussion, but we have no firm evidence that this blade is true wootz, as might have come from India about 200 years ago. Rather this blade appears to be an unusal laminated construction, perhaps with some odd crystallization in places.
