Wootz surprise on one of my blades!

Thanks, everyone! Here's the flip side of the same blade:



There's a little nasty pitting towards the point, but not enough that I'll risk the blade by trying to smooth it out. Once I'm through really bringing out the wootz pattern I'll just oil the heck out of it and make sure it doesn't deteriorate any further, at least for as long as it's in my care.
