OK, folks, this is my first attempr at etching. RadioShack etching solution, diluted 1: 5, held for ~30 seconds.
I guess, I earned a "Gentleman's C" for effort, but the quality is unlikely to be satisfactory for Moro afficionados. BTW, if we have Dhafiosos, do we have Moron-ians?
Woops, I am afraid I am stepping on too many toes....
Seriously, how does it look? It seems the edge is hardened and there is some pattern even in the center of the blade.
