Like Ariel says, the dagger is new and the blade is not wootz. The blade is possible acid treated, but to be sure a better picture is needed.

I have seen daggers the these – new but of a much higher quality. They do make new quality weapons in India, but I guess they can be difficult to find.

Here you can see one example http://arms.en.ec21.com/2/CA00067093/product.html
