I agree 100% with Kubur. In fact they are still making these today.

Yep.. Indian Zirah Bouk, and about 10 years old. As Battara said, they are still made today for tourist market. Can get them in India for 10 bucks.

PS: This knife has nothing to do with Wootz. The blade is made of very low quality pattern welded steel (some call it "damascus" steel).
