Thanks for the informations.
Detlef....as a knifemaker I have my tricks to etch my own damascus. I touched it ab with my 600/800 finishing stones. The etching was not realy good after iron3, at the end instant coffee worked best. Best thomas |

Great job on the etching the Indonesian spearhead Thomas.
I've never heard of etching with instant coffee until now. I had to google it and found the process. In your experience with it, how does the coffee etchant react with copper or brass? Thanks for sharing. |

I have no experience with etching brass or copper because I etch my blades before assembly. But a good question. I have some pieces of my own mokume gane ( brass and copper) on the workbench. I will try and post.
