If closer examination doesn't show any signs of wootz, maybe it would be better not to try anything as etching may involve cleaning/polishing the blade first.
This brings up an interesting point. In our time if we were to have a nice dagger, knife or sword made I think most people would choose to have a wootz blade, but I have seen examples of extremely nice weapons that use blades that never had a visible wootz pattern, why would this be.
