Pattern crucible steel

Can anyone recommend where I could get patterned crucible steel
(wootz) for experimentation?  I am assessing the material loss
micro-etching causes on crucible steel, and have struggled to get
enough samples. Ideally I would like an historic sword blade or
something similar, that can be sectioned into several pieces, in
order to maintain a degree of consistency across samples.
