Steve,
Thank you, I like it too!
It's solid and razor sharp. You could use it and it wouldn't let you down. I like that a lot in the blades I collect. Yours sure fit's the bill too!
Ian,
Thank you for your comments.
You said "You gave it a long hard etch which is why you see so much blue on the blade."
Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Is it something to expect with other types of etching? (vinegar, arsenic, ferric stuff from Radio Shack) etc.
Have some other etching to do and want as much info going in as possible.
thanks,
moose
