Yes, Gavin, I believe the two( and only 2) I have seen with wootz were the jadeite types you mentioned.

This is NOT one of the two I was thinking of, but the idea is the same, and certainly the manufacture would have been during about the same time:

i have one of these with a plain leather sheath. about an 8in. blade. haven't dared to etch it & lose the patina. also have a very similar pesh with a dark wood grip & a more elaborate scabbard

To resurrect this thread, I have just acquired this little knife. According to Tirri, the small ones are called CHHURI and he agrees with comments above that they come from Northern India. The blade on mine shows watering/faux wootz....not sure which, but I like it. Well made and with original leather over wood scabbard
Sorry for the colour variance....camera playing up. The top pic shows correct colour.
Anyway here it is for comment.

I have a thing for these daggers too, someone posted a matching kukri (with similar inlaid handle) I have 4 of these

they even made a large Kanjar style of this. I've tried adding image, will try from the pc later.

But the khanjar is 19inches !
