Sorry, you should have had an answer earlier, but I suppose others could have stepped in and answered your question.
Different types of katars were used in south India, but I suppose you in this case mean katars, where the blade is riveted onto the hilt.
A lot of these blade were of European origin, and not made of wootz, but Indian blades were also used, and in this cases it is not unusual to see blades made of wootz.
