Now I remember, that you already showed the pictures to me and I would be happy, if my blades are look as good as yours.

It's easy! Really easy working with Nital! Only polishing is more time consuming but that you already know better than me.

Just annoys me that I have to buy it from the US.

Are you buying it with your home address?

All sites I know specify " industrial use" and request industrial address.
I have a friend who buys it for me and gets it at his factory.

No, because the seller does not offer shipping to Europe but only to continental US. So I have it shipped to my friends' house in US and they send it to me in the Netherlands.

There is no restriction from where I buy it. Will send you the link via PM.

An the Kard I was talking about.

You notice the round lighter spot near the koftgari and slightly lighter tip. Those wouldn't get the same dark/black patina no matter what.
