Mongolian? Knife/sword

Polished and etched!

I had a little time on my hands today and cleaned, polished and etched the blade.

I used some circuit board etching solution about 50/50 strength for about 30 minutes. Next I lightly wire brushed it by hand and applied a coating of Renaissance Wax to the lightly heated blade.

When it was room temp I buffed it by hand with a cloth to bring up a bit of luster.

This was my first try at blade etching, so comments and suggestions welcome!
