Jeff, while it is a theoretical possibility, I can not see it being technically achievable. I know there are master blacksmiths who can forge wootz blades, but to take an old blade, reforge and regrind it while preserving wootz pattern is something "unreal" to me.
Would be so interesting to hear from smiths/metallurgists who can comment on the technical possibility.
