I watched the clip with an executioner. His swords look like nickel-plated, I doubt they are really wootz. I think he may use Johar simply as synonymous to "good".
I do not know the details that well, but I think the amputations of hands (for stealing) are conducted from up to down, beheadings are conducted something like "from the shoulder" - up to down combined with right to left, basically you behead a semi-sitting person. I never seen an amputation of leg and arm, I think this is reserved for those who join kafir in fighting muslims, attack islam and so on, but there are most likely far more knowledgeble people on the subject. It is _rare_, and I do not know how it works.
