Hi
I've also seen wootz welded to non-wootz... nice stuff..

i can also add that sometimes in a wootz ingot you will get some non-patterning areas in the billet.... this can arise from numerous reasons.... but that is another animal... i've had it happen where the ingot wasn't homogenous and some steel bits remained un melted... made a wootzy and patternweld mix...

Greg

ps... nice blade
