Honestly, I liked the blade better before the etching. This is neither a wootz, nor a pattern welded blade where the pattern of the steel has some intrinsic purpose. This is simply a laminated blade and I consider it should be kept as clean as possible and definitely not etched.
But this is my opinion...
