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 .

Thank you Rick, very good hint!

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