Stunning wootz Kard

I don't have the feeling that the blade has been reground / ruined on a belt grinder. The grinding is very professional / symmetric and is obviously doen with lots of skill (it looks much more 'disturbing on picture than in reality). I have the feeling that it's an old grind / done on a stone wheel.

The edge itself is very thin (almost razor - like) / so also very fragile.

Nice find but the edge was thinned out on some type of grinder and to me looks more recent than not .

any ideas on the age?

I did not say ruined Tim, but leaving evidence of the abrasive size is not something usually done on blades of this quality. Such things are done more recently...in my opinion.
