Detlef, Rick has an excellent point. here's an archaic that at first glance is quite similar to yours. even at close inspection, it's hard to see the fact that it's twistcore. the panday did such an excellent job, that the pattern is so controlled and very tight. heck, i had a hard time taking picture of it.
you never know; you might wanna really work on that archaic of yours; you just never know what it's hiding... |

Agree, my example was quite unexceptional looking before I etched it; and it took a few applications to even bring the pattern out faintly .
I used circuit board etchant . |

Thank you Ron and Rick for showing your beautiful examples. I've etched the blade quickly because I was curious to see what will come out and now I have the hope that my blade can show also a twistcore.
Regards, Detlef |

Detlef, when I etched my kris I only applied the etchant to the center area where the core is using a Q Tip .

 The edge area of the blade is already very dark so this is a very useful advice for me!Regards, Detlef |
