The tip does look cut off and reprofiled. Wootz is a possibility as I was thinking I saw evidence of a twist core in some of the photo's! Very intresting blade, should give you a good study. I'm still wondering about that silver piece and the ganja. The other view helped a bit, that view showed more metal then what original looked like accumulated debris. I agree it most likely is hiding something under it. I would not etch the blade near the inlays but why not etch near the tip? Sort of like opening a window in the Nihonto world.
