Hi Jose, maybe from pictures it's not so clear, but for sure the blade is laminated (parallel lamination alongs the blade). I have etched the blade for an hour or so with some stops to clear the vinegar with cold water and this is the result. All other weapons that I have etched didn't take so long time to shows the pattern
Hi RIck, no I have tried with vinegar, cloruric ferric and lemon (in every different etching, not together

). This time with vinegar again
