ariel, I do not think this is wootz, more likely a folded steel.

Here is a snap of a high end Khyber with a wootz blade and fittings.

Here is my Choora: handle is horn with multiple small nails, all decorative parts are brass. The interesting thing is the thin line of turquoises below the bolster, on both sides.
The scabbard is made of ass hide ( not THAT ass! The one that is a donkey, and has long ears!:-))

When and where would you put it?

Between the ribs; preferably on a dark night ??
