Alan, I have thought about the possibility of wootz, but:

doesn`t the grain in this picture behave a bit more like a normal material grain above the Poyuhan? Also in the full length pictures the we see long vertical strains of grain, especially in the upper half of blade. Would wootz also behave like that?

Would a Keris with a Slorok of wootz have Pamor (I have so far seen only Keris entirely made out of wootz)? I ask, because this blade seems to have few small patches of other material. Is it possible to weld wootz together with other material for a Javanese Pande?

Regarding classification - I have seen a picture of Sorsoran of a blade, which is indeed very close to what is left of features on this blade (I have no idea about other indicators) in quite small details, and it was given Tangguh Sedayu by Pak Pauzan.

Does this blade have some characteristics of Tangguh Sedayu in your oppinion?
