Agree with Laurie. I do not think that the edge is a reliable wootz indicator. The same is for a fold line, which can be observed on the top edge of many wootz blades, or sound the blade makes when topped against a floor, or flexibility test, markings etc... In my opinion - the only reliable sign of wootz is the wootz pattern. Any other opinions?
