What kind of wootz is this? Also inscription help

[AJ1356]

It is not wootz, it is pattern welded steel. Can't help you with where it was made. It read, Amal e Mohammad (work of Mohammad), Saahib 'Abdi Baashi (owner 'Abdi Baashi)...

I know what “Baashi-bozuuk” means but when the “Baashi” used by itself it doesn’t mean anything, it simply makes no sense. I tried to look it up and it looks like it’s a common Somalian or African surname but could t figure out why it could mean alone. In Turkish by itself it means “head” but doesn’t have a use next to guy’s name like it is used here.
Can we see what your Yatagan looks like ?
