Thanks for posting pics of this beautiful knife. Charles Buttin in "Catalogue De La Collection D'Armes Anciennes" has a knife of same general blade form with hilt of similar angle on item 701, Plate XXII. He identifies that piece as Afghanistan or Bhukara. I would lean towards those regions as possible origins for this knife. The blade is indeed wootz.
