A wootz knife considerations

This type of wootz I associate with Persia which is known for strong contrast. Turkish wootz is lighter in contrast and does not pop out. I have both types of wootz.

Well, Persian and Persian. That is a question on, where you draw the borders, depending on when and where. The borders in the early times were floating a lot, and I do think the wootz of the dagger is very much north.
