I picked this jambiya up a couple of years ago but could not be sure if the blade was real wootz or acid etched faux wootz. I decided to sand and etch the blade with nice results.

Nice Lew,

What did you use to bring it up ?

A fresh batch of ferric chloride and distilled water with a hot water rinse.
