Nice pattern Lew. What did you etch with. Be careful not to lose the polished finish of the Balinese style if you coose to etch further. The surface of the Balinese keris should not look like the Javanese keris.

I used ferric chloride and then buffed it with 0000 steel wool. The any other etching will be done by a professional. Lew |
