As I was saying there have been a few wootz looking blades although now I note more appearing. I can only say that although I think these are better quality being sharper and better made with a finer edge that in the past it was not the usual tradition possibly because of price to go for this style...though I am certain they exist. The last picture shows the standard steel blade seen on most Omani Khanjars..I think the pictures speak for themselves which is just as well since metalurgical process is not my forte.
