Omani Kattara with wootz blade
I have been running into firsts lately. This is an Omani Kattara and this if the first example of this form I have seen with a wootz blade. The blade is thin and typical of these swords but the watering suggests it was locally forged from an imported ingot. Perhaps a surviving wootz making center in Arabia? Has anyone else every run across an Omani sword of this form with a wootz blade?
