I've been thinking about acid etching some blades and was wondering about any advice you guys might have. I have a book on knife making somewhere with a chapter on this, but not sure where it is right now. And if any of you have noticed, suggestions for cheap materials would be good. I think the way I work the metal before polishing and grinding can produce some interesting paterns.

Would muriatic acid be good for such a project, or is it too strong/weak

Thanks for the favourite on H.E.A.L.

I rather need to find the extra motivation to get the cannon's follow-up finished...

Thanks for adding my stuff to your collection. Need prices on your knives. I'd like to have one.

Any particular one that you're interested in? I think I've sold half of them. I may have to make one just for you.
